Make a difference by joining great volunteers in cleaning up our river! Volunteers are asked to meet in the lower parking area at Big Bear Park in Franklin, wearing clothes and shoes suitable for picking up trash in the river. Locations will be assigned and volunteers can choose to pick up in floodplain land, along the riverbanks, or in the water itself. Canoes and boats would be helpful but are not necessary to participate. Gloves, bags, and a pizza lunch will be provided.
