Start: 2025-09-27T11:00:00-05:00

Join us for the second annual cleanup along the Wild and Scenic Upper Clackamas River! Taking place on National Public Lands Day, we are calling on volunteers like YOU to help us clean up dispersed camp sites along the Clackamas River.
When: September 27, 2025 from 9 am - 12 pm (after event picnic from 12 pm - 1 pm)
Where: We have a couple dozen dispersed camp sites to clean! We will organize volunteers in advance into pods and each pod will have 2-4 sites to visit. We will convene in the morning at the Ripplebrook Store, have coffee and pass out supplies, then head to our selected sections.
Why: Trash on the river threatens not only the river's scenic beauty, but it also harms fish and wildlife and impairs drinking water quality. This is the second year that we've coordinated a volunteer effort to clean the upper Clackamas River.
