For over 20 years, volunteers have worked across St. Charles County to clean up local streams. Greenway Network has generously provided support by supplying gloves, bags, free volunteer t-shirts, and safety training (available in registration materials). A big thank you to Greenway Network for their continued assistance!
Volunteers are crucial in helping us protect and clean our watersheds, which are vital to the health of our community, supporting wildlife and a variety of land uses.
Individuals, families, and organizations with volunteers ages 6 and up are encouraged to sign up by March 24 to participate in this important annual event. Tasks will include picking up trash and debris. No prior experience is required, but participants should be prepared for physical labor and walking across uneven terrain.
