ShoreRivers Seeks Volunteers for Project Clean Stream

ShoreRivers volunteers after a successful Project Clean Stream trash pick-up event in 2021.

Join ShoreRivers to clear trash from our roads, parks, and rivers this spring and help protect the Bay by cleaning up your waterways! ShoreRivers and volunteers are hosting community trash clean-ups as part of Project Clean Stream, a Bay-wide trash clean-up that is 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.

Friday, March 31, marks the official 2023 kickoff date, and clean-ups will be held throughout the spring. Join a Project Clean Stream cleanup near you:
