For a random idea dreamed up during a pandemic, this cleanup has taken off like a plastic bag in a north wind. Who would have thought wandering around in an urban riverbed picking up junk with your friends could be so much fun? Well, it is, so you should sign up at the bottom of this post!

The 4th annual Clear Creek river cleanup is on the calendar for October 7, 2023 at Twin Lakes Park in Denver, CO. It’s been a year since we tackled this stretch of creek and trash buildups happen every minute. We are behind, constantly. But never fear! You all have made an incredible difference over the last three years and the legend of this cleanup grows. The impact our volunteers and sponsors have made continues to be inspiring! Hope you can make it this year.

Last year we had a record turnout 110 volunteers, and cleaned up twice as much area as we had in the past. Adams County continues to support our efforts in the most incredible ways and the sponsor list continues to grow. The gratitude we have for these like minded folks can’t be expressed enough, but they will have to settle for a post or two and a hand-written thank you card. They all know what we are doing isn’t easy but is 100% necessary.

It is such a pleasure to walk down the bike path or stalk huge carp in the creek and see the difference we have made. Yet, every year spring runoff and the occasional flash flood exhumes tires and weird shit from decades of neglect. Which is why we return year after year to work our butts off to put the “clear” back in Clear Creek.

So put October 7 on your calendar and pass the word to your friends and neighbors. Free food, cold drinks, cleaning up your earth, and building community. What else could you ask for?
