Earth Weekend River Cleanup
New stretch. Bigger impact. Earth Day on the South Platte.
Protect Our Rivers, Denver Trout Unlimited, and Audubon are teaming up for a special South Platte Cleanup in celebration of Earth Day! And this year, we’re rolling up our sleeves to tackle a stretch of river that needs some serious love and attention and gets overlooked by other cleanup efforts.
Join us on Saturday, April 18th for a hands-on cleanup, fun prize giveaways, and the chance to make a real impact alongside an incredible community of river stewards.
Check out the details below and RSVP to reserve your spot.
We can’t wait to celebrate Earth Day weekend with you — and show the South Platte some love!
