2015 Flint River & Community Cleanup is just around the corner and we need your help on Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 9:00AM – Noon.
We are looking for communities, clubs and organizations, businesses and individuals to join us from all corners of our Flint River Watershed to give the area a good Spring Cleaning to prepare for the season of fun ahead.
We will be picking up trash and debris along the shorelines, BUT not entering the river due to the swift high waters of Spring: Safety First!
Gloves, garbage pickers, and trash bags are provided.
All volunteers also receive an insulated lunch box!
Please register to volunteer at our Become a Volunteer link or email Jaime Welch at jwelch@flintriver.org
