Plogging: the mash up of jogging and the Swedish "plocka upp" or pick up. Meaning to pick up trash while spending time in the outdoors. Since Fjällräven was founded in 1960, we have been inspiring people to get outside. Building on our love of the outdoors, Fjällräven is hosting plogging events across North America. Cleaning up the environment is one way we can all honor Earth Day. Join your nearest brand center on Saturday, April 20th to plog with your local community.

Taking place just off of West River Parkway, this family-friendly cleanup is an Earth Day tradition in the Minneapolis River Gorge. We've returned to this site year after year and have noticed a dramatic improvement to the area thanks to dedicated volunteers like you! 

To participate, simply show up at either E 36th St & W River Parkway or E 44th St & W River Parkway at 9:30 am on April 20 to sign-in with Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) staff. We'll provide all of the supplies, however, if you have your own gloves feel free to bring them along. Sturdy shoes are strongly suggested as well as dressing in layers for the weather.
