By David Snell

Grab your crew, hop on your bike, and hit the Oak Leaf Trail with us!

We’ll meet at the Riverside Park UEC, cruise down to McKinley Beach, helmets on (bring yours or borrow one from the UEC!), with trash grabbers, gloves, and buckets in tow.

Along the way, we’ll team up to give some love to Milwaukee’s lakefront and to help keep our natural spaces clean, welcoming, and vibrant.

A $5 suggested donation per person supports the Urban Ecology Center. Bring your energy, your eco-spirit, and maybe a friend or two—then let’s ride together for a cleaner Milwaukee! A great get-together option to celebrate Earth Day 2026!
