Green Columbus will be participating as a team in The Columbus Litter League! This is a volunteer activity involving litter cleanups along public roads, streets, and alleys. We will be cleaning up the South Linden area where our community tree nursery is located! Safety vests, gloves, and litter grabbers will be provided. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

*Cleanups may be canceled or rescheduled due to inclement weather, such as extreme heat or rain

All participants must sign a liability waiver.

After each cleanup, we will report our stats for that day. In the scoring system, one bag of litter collected equals one 'run'. The teams with the most 'runs' at the end of the season will win their division. The winner with the most runs will have an opportunity to meet Clippers Players at Huntington Park. Thanks to the support of the Columbus Clippers, every team player who actively participates will be invited to enjoy special Litter League team nights at designated home Clippers' games this summer. The Litter League season runs from June 1, 2026 through August 31, 2026.

Rainbow Drinks: Green Drinks Goes Full Spectrum

This June, our monthly Green Drinks outing turns up the color for a special Pride Month edition. Join us for the Pride Month Tree Walk — a relaxed evening stroll through Schiller Park’s tree canopy, followed by drinks and networking at one of our favorite local spots.

We'll gather at Club Diversity at 6 p.m. and set off as a group at 6:15 p.m. for a guided walk to Schiller Park, taking in the trees along the way. Led by Green Columbus board member Elliot Smith, the walk lasts approximately 45–60 minutes and will take place rain or shine, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.

Afterward, we'll head back to Club Diversity around 7 p.m. to unwind with drinks and good conversation — stay as long as you'd like. We're proud to wrap up the evening at Club Diversity, an LGBTQ-owned bar, in recognition of Pride Month.

Whether you're a Green Drinks regular or joining us for the first time, all are welcome. Come connect, explore, and celebrate the season — and the trees — with us!
