Join us for Big Sweep, the annual clean up of lakes and creeks. Last year more than 600 volunteers picked up 8 tons of debris. Help us make it bigger and better in 2008!
You can volunteer at one of our manned sites or get your own group together and clean up a creek in your neighborhood and report your results online.
