Don't trash your pumpkins! Instead, bring them to a drop-off site in <br />Washington County. Drop-off sites will be open to residents through <br />November 10. Pumpkins must be free of glitter, paint, wax, and <br />candles. The City has a drop-off site in the north parking lot in front <br />of City Hall; otherwise, visit <br />www.washingtoncountymn.gov/3575/Pumpkin-Recycling to find a <br />drop-off site near you. <br />Turn Your Clocks Ahead Saturday as Daylight Saving <br />Time Ends <br />Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour this weekend! Daylight <br />Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 2. <br />As we “fall back,” it’s also a good time to check smoke and carbon <br />monoxide detectors, replace batteries, and review home safety <br />plans. Enjoy the extra hour of rest and the brighter mornings ahead! <br />Minnesota Water Stewards Goes Statewide <br />“David, Kim, Barb, and Mike are part of an elite cadre of volunteers <br />helping to engage communities across Minnesota and western <br />Wisconsin in grass-roots projects to protect and restore lakes, rivers, <br />and streams. <br />Beginning in 2026, Freshwater is taking the program statewide and <br />removing the enrollment fee so that more people can participate. <br />Locally, the St. Croix Valley Foundation has provided grant funds to <br />Washington Conservation District (WCD), Freshwater, and North <br />Woods and Waters to train a new cohort of volunteers, starting in <br />2026.” <br />photo credit Angie Hong - Washington Conservation District <br />Washington Conservation District Water Stewards <br />Friends & Volunteers Bonfire - Nov 4 <br />Join us on Tuesday, Nov. 4 (6-8pm) for a cozy bonfire and night hike <br />outside the Nordic Center at Lake Elmo Park Reserve (1515 Keats <br />Ave N). <br />This event is an opportunity to make friends, meet some of our local <br />Water Steward volunteers, and learn about training and volunteer <br />opportunities in 2026.
