River Rescue Trash Cleanup

Join the dynamic River Rescue Team,  a group of volunteers dedicated to removing trash by the ton!  You will help remove trash and debris from the riverbed to prevent harm to water and wildlife. This event is social, impactful, and flexible so whether you want to focus on small plastics or getting a workout hauling large items, there is a perfect spot for you to make an impact for the river!

Most River Rescue volunteers are “regulars” who join us on a frequent basis, but we welcome newcomers or volunteers curious about getting involved!  In honor of River Days, this River Rescue will be perfect for beginners looking to learn more.  There is no long-term commitment to join this event.  At these events, volunteers should expect to get dirty, get a bit of a workout, occasionally trek through terrain, and work with an amazing group of people!
