Eden Prairie is blooming with eco-friendly activities as it ushers in the weekend with a Resilient Shorelines Workshop, set to take place this Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Community Center's Cambria Room. Locals are encouraged to come to learn how they can play a vital role in preserving the water quality of their shoreline properties. The event promises to deliver insights about shoreline projects, plant selection, and regulatory must-knows, and it's on the house for those wielding the coupon code 'we love water'.

As the calendar flips to Saturday, April 27, residents can fully enjoy the spring air at the Arbor Day Walk and Green Fair at Round Lake Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This year marks a noteworthy 40th anniversary for Eden Prairie as a Tree City USA community, and the fair is shaping up to be a memorable one. Not just a tree hugger's delight, the fair will feature a spate of green-themed exhibitors, free seedling giveaways, and even let the kids climb high atop a tree—with proper gear, of course. Those planning to attend should keep an eye out on edenprairie.org/Updates to stay in the loop on weather-related changes to the event schedule.
The green wave continues into next week with the Spring Recycling Drop-Off Event, slated for a Saturday on May 4, from 8 a.m. till noon at the Eden Prairie Yard Waste Site. It's said residents can unload a variety of recyclables—from worn-out appliances to the peskiest of old tires. Folks must be Eden Prairie residents and don't forget to bring ID to prove it. A comprehensive price list for the items being accepted at the event can be found in a PDF format at edenprairie.org/RecyclingEvents, so best to check it out and avoid carrying back what you heaved over.
With these environmental initiatives, Eden Prairie is doubling down on its commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
