DULUTH, MINN.—Loll Designs, a leading manufacturer of sustainable outdoor furniture, helped lead the 17th annual “Clean Yer Creek” event on May 3. A total of 500 dedicated volunteers, in partnership with 20 local businesses such as Chester Bowl Improvement Club, Wild State Cider, Lake Superior Brewing, and Bent Paddle Brewing, gathered to clean five key creeks feeding into Lake Superior.
“With our core mission to inspire others to appreciate the outdoors, we look forward to Clean Yer Creek all year,” says Brian King, Brand + Marketing Director for Loll Designs. “Our team members are passionate about leading planet protection-driven initiatives, and this is one right in our backyard that makes a big impact. Many Loll employees even bring their families, friends, and neighbors to the event.” Clean Yer Creek focuses on restoring local creek and Lake Superior watershed ecosystems by removing trash and debris. This year’s efforts focused on five creeks including Chester, Miller, Merritt, Lester/Amity, and Keene. In 2024, Clean Yer Creek volunteers removed an impressive 4,900 pounds (2.45 tons) of trash, significantly improving water quality and supporting the resilience of local wildlife habitats.
