As part of Cleveland BikeWeek events, join more than 1,200 other volunteers for this annual celebration that cleans up areas around the Cuyahoga River. Make the world cleaner by arriving on a bicycle to the starting point on the west bank of The Flats. Wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. We’ll watch your bike and provide gloves, trash bags, water and a t-shirt. Following the fun trash pick-up, you’ll be treated to a lunch, live music and a chance to meet and mingle with thousands of other people working toward a cleaner Cleveland.

Spring has returned to Northeast Ohio, and with it flocks of migratory birds. As numerous species of birds return to the area, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo will celebrate their arrival with International Migratory Bird Day.

Go beak-to-cheek with some of the Zoo’s birds during Get-Close programs, learn about the migration journey at the Migration Station, make bird feeders out of recycled plastic bottles and take them home to hang in your backyard or try to eat like a bird with a game of Be the Beak.

This year’s theme is Habitats: From Tundra to the Tropics. The goal is to raise awareness about bird conservation issues and how people might create or sustain environments that support birds.

Celebrate the mothers in your life at the fourth annual Mother's Day Tea and Silent  Auction. Event includes lunch and dessert, as well as entertainment by Kathie Dice, who will present a one-woman play.
