2021 Como Curb Clean-up Results

Back in October and November we partnered with Janna Caywood of ComoACN and the Capitol Region Watershed District to lead the Como Curb Clean-Up. Then in December we asked participants to report their cleaning efforts. With 61 participants reporting in, we’ve calculated the impact on how much invasive algae was prevented with our community effort.

Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your results!!
