Fish Too Shall Pass.

We need your help to give back to our communities and help restore the waterways and natural spaces we love. Sunflowers, crisp autumn winds, and later summer sunshine are all reminders that fall is almost upon us.  If you’re anything like us, spending time outside in our green and blue spaces has been restorative during such a challenging time for our communities.  It’s out turn to give back to the waterways that have provided solace.

 

While we’re not quite able to gather together again as a large group, we’re hoping your household will consider cleaning up a site in need near you, and helping restore our rivers when you can this fall.  It’s easy. It feels good. It’s safe. But more importantly, it makes a difference. 

Supply Kits Include:  Tote Bag, Garbage Bags, DIY Cleanup 2020 T-Shirt, Gloves, Masks and more!

Safety remains a priority, so mask up, spread out, and keep your groups small, preferably to one household.  We do feel it’s important to stress that you cleanup with utmost safety. Stay at least six feet away from others, use gloves or other equipment when cleaning up, and remember to practice good hygiene. Here are a list of helpful reminders before you head out on your next walk:

Trash:  should be taken home or deposited in a waste receptacle in the area (if available)

Do not enter the river. Water levels are high, and flowing fast
