SATURDAY, MAY 3RD

Protect Our Rivers is rallying the community for the 18th Annual South Platte River Cleanup! Join us, our friends, and partners for an awesome day of river stewardship followed by an after-party with free beer, food, and big prize giveaways! 

And be sure to get this year's t-shirt designed by LavaBox for $20 with early registration. 

RSVP and additional details are below. We can't wait to get our feet wet and hands dirty with you!

We have several cleanup sites to choose from! You can choose to paddle, wade or walk. All of the cleanups will end around the same time. Once we wrap up we will all head to the after party for a free celebratory beer and big prize giveaways!

On-Land

Overland Pond Park

 This area needs more love than most parks on the South Platte River! Anglers All is  lending waders so we can give this stretch the love it needs!

Frog Hollow Park

This park is a great midway point between the other two spots and is trashed. Be prepared for a huge trash haul!

EVENT SPONSORS

It takes less than three weeks for trash in the South Platte to reach the Gulf of Mexico.
