Litter in and around our local streams is not only unpleasant to look at, but it is also harmful to wildlife, water quality, and community health.
River, lake, & Stream Cleanups
JRBP hosts annual cleanup events throughout our watershed, including Earth Day, River Rescue, Day of Caring, and various smaller urban cleanups. Visit the JRBP events calendar, for the next cleanup event.
Over the years, JRBP volunteers have removed tens of thousands of pounds of trash from our local waterways.
