16th Annual
South Platte River Cleanup 

Saturday, April 29th   Denver, CO

For the past 16 years, volunteers, partners, and friends have come together

for a day of river stewardship and celebration. This year is going to be even bigger!

Join us for a river cleanup followed by an after-party with free beer, food, and prize giveaways including a Kokopelli packraft, RMR river tubes, Meow Wolf tickets, and more. 

Our friends at Lavabox have created an awesome shirt design to commemorate our 16th year! 

RSVP and additional details are below. See you there!
