Cleanup Volunteers Needed!

Considering coming out to help? Let us know and we'll send you an e-vite the week before the event.

Help us keep this beautiful stretch of river beautiful!

Boaters and non-boaters welcome. This is a social event for all those who love the Skagit River. If you have a boat, bring it along (our property is located not too far downstream from Copper Creek). Those without boats can still join in on the fun - catch a ride in a raft or participate on foot.

At the start of your day, you’ll meet up with others joining the cleanup and receive instructions and trash bags.

Bring an item for a potluck Saturday night.

Also, for a $5 (or more!) donation to American Whitewater, have some fish off the BBQ.

We’ll have a group campfire going in the evenings (pending any burn bans).
