Description


The Great River Clean-Up is a "kick-off" to the wet season in an effort to get the river as clean as possible before the river really starts to flow. This year, we are focusing on Mission Valley and the Western 9. We think we can make Mission Valley Preserve even more beautiful... but we'll need your help to do it! Join us on our mission and make a VERY impactful (and visual!) difference in your community.

Join us for general beautification activities such as removing invasive plants, sprucing up trails, and painting signs! Want to join us at this event for trash clean-up instead? Click here.

 

Here are a few tips to help you prepare for the event:

  • Please arrive at 8:45am to get checked in on time, allow time for parking.
  • Be sure to dress in clothes that can get a little dirty - long pants are required and long sleeves are highly recommended. A hat, sunscreen, or any other types of sun protection are also recommended for all of our outdoor events. 
  • Closed toe shoes are required. No sandals, Tom's or other flats. You must wear sturdy tennis or hiking shoes.
  • In order to reduce single-use plastics, we encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle with water to drink.
  • Please note that light rain will not cancel this event.
  • We will provide all tools and supplies for you to use.
  • Community Service hours can be verified for those who need them.
  • For safety reasons, no pets are allowed at this event.
  • There are no restroom facilities at this location. Please plan accordingly.
  • Family Friendly!
