Blind Beach and Goat Rock Beach Cleanup

JOIN US! The California Association of Managers and Russian Riverkeeper are joining forces to help protect the Russian River and Ocean from trash!

It’s easy to participate and we provide all the gloves, trash grabbers, and bags and haul away the trash!

Participants will meet Carol, their team leader in orange shirt in the parking lot (near star on the map below and in confirmation email) to sign in and get started. From the meeting location in the parking lot, we’ll break into walking routes based on where the trash is. We’re thinking there will be more trash near Blind Beach then Goat Rock, and will plan to focus there. You are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, bring water, a hat, and anything you might need for a walking estuary adventure!

Volunteers are the heart of our mission. Your efforts keep the Russian River clean, protect wildlife, and preserve this beautiful watershed for future generations. Every piece of trash we remove stops litter from washing downstream, preventing it from reaching the ocean. We can’t save the ocean if we keep sending our trash to it.

By taking action now, we can break the cycle of pollution. Together, we can reduce the Great Pacific Garbage Patch—already as big as Texas—and protect the River from harmful microplastics that form when litter is left behind. Join us in making a lasting difference!
