Keep Pearland Beautiful, in partnership with Shadow Creek Outdoors Club, will be hosting the 4th Annual Pearland Clean & Green event on April 6, 2019 at the Pearland Town Center (11200 Broadway St., Pearland, TX 77584). Clean and Green began in 2016 as a community ‘call to action’ for Shadow Creek Ranch residents to clean up litter and learn about ‘green’ initiatives, centered around the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse, and recycle). As one of the largest Master Planned Communities in this region, residents of Shadow Creek Ranch take pride in keeping a clean community. The event has expanded over the years to draw in residents from across the area. The event will begin with a litter cleanup from 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. The community will gather at the Pearland Town Center Pavilion from 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. for activities, entertainment and educational displays. The event is free to the public.
