ShoreRivers Seeks Volunteers for Project Clean Stream

Volunteers pose with 150 pounds of trash collected in wetlands and the parking lot near the Easton Target during a previous Project Clean Stream event.

Join us on select dates in April to clear trash from our roads, parks, and rivers! ShoreRivers and volunteers are once again hosting community trash clean-ups as part of Project Clean Stream, a Bay-wide trash clean-up effort organized by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and coordinated by local groups like ShoreRivers. Project Clean Stream is an opportunity for citizens across the entire watershed to work together to clean our shared water resource.

This year, we are also excited to be partnering with a variety of community organizations for Clean Anne’s County Day—a day of environmental service throughout Queen Anne's County. A variety of trash pick-ups are scheduled for Sunday, April 7, to help keep the county and its waterways clean.
