Civic clubs, businesses, paddle sports enthusiasts, fishing groups, outfitters and conservation groups join together across the country to organize and execute cleanups of their selected streams. This stimulates cleanups of blighted areas and helps communities focus attention on neglected waterways. Many groups report that their efforts are paying off with greater awareness and community support occurring on the local level. National River Cleanup Week assists local groups with information on how to conduct a successful river cleanup, how to promote their event, and provides safety tips. Groups that register their cleanups may receive free National River Cleanup trash bags for cleanups occurring during the week of May 12-19, 2001.
Trash bags are subject to availability.
Groups that register receive a packet of educational materials prior to the cleanup week. For additional information online go to America Outdoors and click on National River Cleanup Week or email them . I have registered our cleanup. Everyone is welcome. Not limited to TSRA members.
