Join WRRR, Paddle trails, OWA, WKC, BeWet, Nature Nuts, Boy Scouts, Green River Coalition, WA state parks, and other several local clubs (if we missed your group let us know!), neighbors and friends at the 42nd Annual Green River Cleanup on Saturday May 2nd!!! Every year lots of outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the day recreating along the river, and cleaning up trash at the same time. As always, there will be lots to do for boaters and non boaters. River stretches are rated class II-IV. The last several years proved that we will boat no matter the flow! Hiking and ground crew sections are available from flat trail to adventurous river corridor cleaning. We found some huge trash areas and have local neighbor’s helping out as well!
Cleanup members can camp at Kanasket-Palmer Campground, before and after the event. Please RSVP on Recreation.gov or by calling 360-319-6524. Unfortunately, the group site is not available this year. Individual sites are first come first serve, so reserve your spot soon!
GRCU will be hosting a BBQ at Flaming Geyser picnic shelter #3 on Saturday afternoon after the event for members (or a $5 donation for non-members). What- you need a time? It’s after the river cleanup safety and sweep boat committee arrives! Come on out!!! Usually it’s starting around 3pm and wrapping up around 6pm +/- river time.
