Calling All Volunteers!
Grab your friends, family, coworkers, Scout troops, and church groups! It's time to clean up this town during the 36th annual Ijams River Rescue, scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 2025 (severe weather date is March 15), from 10 am-1 pm!
​
This year's cleanup features 17 sites open to volunteers in the community. There are 250 slots available! Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline to sign up is March 1 or until all spots are filled!
An additional 15 sites are being handled privately, with site captains recruiting their own volunteers.
That's 32 sites where we can make a difference in the cleanliness and health of our waterways!
​
Everyone who volunteers will receive a t-shirt designed by Stephen Lyn Bales.
