Help Clean Up our Waterways with Chad Pregracke and Crew!
Volunteers will join us for a fun day of hard work clearing pollution from the riverbanks along our country’s waterways. Each year we have thousands of volunteers who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get dirty! If you are interested in volunteering for a cleanup, please go to our calendar of events page to find the opportunity nearest you. Click on the cleanup you are interested in for time and location of the event.
