Roadside, River and Environmental Cleanups
Looking for a way to make an instant difference in your community? Do you know where an illegal dump-site is located? Do you want to help us cleanup our rivers and streams?
Then grab a group of friends and let's clean up the community. You’ll improve your surroundings and set a great example for others. We will supply you with bags, safety vests, litter pickers, canoes, gloves, ropes, shovels and any other tools that you may need to make your cleanup happen.

River Cleanups
May through October, join other volunteers in a series of river cleanups. We take on all of the area rivers in our mission to protect our water. This is dirty work and you'll spend as much time in the water with a shovel as you will in a canoe.

Roadside Cleanups
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 75% of the litter in our waterways starts on the sides of the roads. Each time it rains, the litter makes its way into our stormdrains, then into our rivers. Before you know it, pieces of that litter, particularly the plastic litter, are swirling around in the ocean.
If you've seen orange and blue bags on the sides of the road, then most likely a volunteer group has passed through that area on a roadside cleanup. You can even Adopt a Street to maintain.
Stream Maintenance
Walk, swim, and crawl through our streams, creeks, and tributaries to relieve them of trash. Spring to Fall, create your own cleanup or join other volunteers to restore area streams.
Special riparian zone projects are available for groups ready to put on the waders. Live staking, log jam removal, cleanup, and bank stabilization.
