Clean ups

Join us to help clean up litter in our watershed!  


See our events page for scheduled clean ups and see recent event highlights below.


We have adopted two segments of the NW Branch Trail and lead and support clean ups across the watershed. We welcome neighbors who want to organize cleanups along the NWB. Our cleanup committee can help with logistics and supplies. Check out our how-to and contact our clean up committee to get started!
