Did you know?

Rivers and streams across the country are choked with trash – from plastic bags to take-out containers to tires – and this hurts clean water and wildlife.

But you can make a difference! By participating in a river cleanup you can help your river and your community, and have fun with friends and family at the same time.

Here’s how:

• Find a scheduled cleanup near you
• Organize your own cleanup

Thank you!
