Divers to clean up St. Paul's Lake Phalen for Earth Week
ST. PAUL, Minn. — In honor of Earth Week, some University of Minnesota students will spend their Friday afternoon cleaning up one of the Twin Cities' most popular lakes.
Members of the university's Marine Biology Club, in collaboration with Women in Ocean Science and the Midwest School of Diving, are teaming up for an Earth Day SCUBA and shoreline cleanup of St. Paul's Lake Phalen.
The public is invited to come out for the event at 3 p.m. to help clean up the shoreline.
