19TH ANNUAL 

RIVER CLEANUP

SATURDAY, MAY 9TH

 

 

Protect Our Rivers is rallying the community for the 19th Annual South Platte River Cleanup - a day where hundreds of people come together to protect and celebrate the river that flows through the heart of Denver. Each year more partners and people join us and we make a bigger impact.

 

Join us for an awesome day of river stewardship followed by an after-party with free beer, food, and big prize giveaways! 

RSVP and additional details are below. Can't wait!

RSVP

We have several cleanup sites to choose from! You can choose to paddle, wade or walk. All of the cleanups will end around the same time and waders are encouraged!  

 

Once we wrap up we will all head to the after party for a free celebratory beer and big prize giveaways!

On-Land

Overland Pond Park

 This area needs more love than most parks on the South Platte River! Anglers All is  lending waders so we can give this stretch the love it needs!

Frog Hollow Park

This park is a great midway point between the other two spots and is trashed. Be prepared for a huge trash haul!

It takes less than three weeks for trash in the South Platte to reach the Gulf of Mexico.
