South Fork American River Cleanup

Mother Nature has done her part in washing down natural and unnatural debris from the shores of the South Fork American River; now it’s our turn to remove the trash! Raft some exciting Class III rapids and volunteer for one (or all!) of this year’s River Cleanups. Due to the nature of the South Fork American River cleanups, they ask that only volunteers with previous boating experience participate. BYO-PFD: Please bring your own personal flotation device. Lunch will be provided for volunteers after the events!

The corridor along the South Fork American River is very diverse, both in habitat types and wildlife species. 117 different bird species use this area throughout the year and plastic and sharp metal debris can hurt them, along with the fish and other aquatic wildlife in the river itself! Please help keep our rivers clean so they can be a recreation center recreational resource for many more years to come.

Note: You must have a life jacket or equivalent to participate with on-river activities.
