18th Annual Great Mississippi River Clean Up

About this event

We would love your volunteer help at the 18th Annual MEF River Clean Up! Fun for the whole family and a free boat ride! NOTE: this is on Saturday, September 28th - the week AFTER MEF, not the morning of!

We are joining up with the Army Corps of Engineer's National Public Lands Day activities and will have a river-based clean up component. This registration site is only for those wanting to get in the boats and clean an island or shore. 

We will bring: T-shirts, lunch, gloves, & bags

Minors only allowed with parent/guardian.

T-shirts: Please let us know your size and we'll do everything we can to get you the correct one.

Just a few reminders:

• Wear long pants & closed toe shoes you can get muddy. You will get muddy!
• Sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen are advised!
• If you have a favorite crowbar or other trash-freeing implement, please bring it along!
• Bring your own water bottle and coffee cup if you can: we'll have coffee and bagels in the morning!
• Bring bugspray/wear appropriate clothing - there are mosquitos in the depths of island vegetation
• Please arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 to register and get outfitted with fitting personal flotation devices (life jackets). 
• Lunch details: We'll purchase a variety of lunch items from local restaurants.
