Clean Up Program
We host clean ups near the waterways in the Lower Susquehanna River Watershed throughout April-October. Check our Event Calendar for details and information on how to volunteer for a Clean Up near you. .
About our Cleanup Program
The Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper has been hosting cleanup events since its inception back in 2006. We coordinate our own clean up events, often partner with other organizations and sometimes, if we are available, we’ll lend a hand to clean ups we are invited to attend.
