Volunteering at a river cleanup is a great way for you and your family to get involved in efforts to restore your hometown river. It also provides an opportunity to connect with people that share your values of improving your community’s environment.
my husband and I did this on the spring river here in Arkansas last fall. They give you a free canoe for the day and transportation back to the launch site in return for you picking up trash along the river. It was a wonderful day out and we were helping to keep the river beautiful too.
