Clackamas River Clean Up This Weekend (OR)

By: Thomas O'Keefe
We Love Clean Rivers, in partnership with
Clackamas River Basin Council, hosts the 10th Annual Down the River Clean Up on the Clackamas!
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH AT 9AM @ BARTON COUNTY PARK
This is a on-river, volunteer clean up made possible by a rich network of recreationalists and a
strong NW community that joins together on drift boats, kayaks, rafts, tubes and even with SCUBA
gear, to scour the banks and river bottom for garbage.
Attracting over 400 people, and typically removing 3-4 tons of trash from the river that provides
the Portland metro area with drinking water, American Whitewater invites our members and
supporters to join the event to make this 10th Anniversary a splashing success!
After volunteers float and fill their boats, all are invited back to Barton County Park from
3-6PM for a family friendly celebration with a free BBQ, live music by TapWater, Hopworks beer,
booths, games, prizes and a great silent auction.
Don’t own a boat? There are Event Raft Seats available, as well as on-land positions.
All participants must pre-register online. Registration
closes 9/6.
