The 40th Annual

Russian River Watershed Cleanup Day

September 19th, 2026

Join us in our annual tradition of gathering together and showing the river some love by helping us remove the trash and plastic pollution that has been accumulating since our last cleanup. Let’s see if we can do even better than 2025, when we broke all previous records with 520 volunteers who cleaned up 13 tons of trash in a single day! All volunteers get a special commemorative t-shirt!

Signups open August 1st and will fill up fast!
Feel free to contact Ariel Majorana with questions.

Why it Matters

We know that 80% of ocean trash starts on land. Your cleanup helps protect wildlife and stop pollution before it flows downstream during the winter months. We can’t wait to get out on the river with you!

Thank you to our 2025 sponsors! Become one for 2026 today!
