About this event
Save the date for the 42nd ANNUAL Green River Cleanup! Saturday 5-2-26
Join WRRR, Paddle trails, OWA, WKC, BeWet, Boy Scouts, Green River Coalition, WA state parks, and other several local clubs (if we missed your group let us know!), neighbors and friends at the 42nd Annual Green River Cleanup on Saturday May 2nd!!! Every year lots of outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the day recreating along the river, and cleaning up trash at the same time. As always, there will be lots to do for boaters and non boaters. River stretches are rated class II-IV. The last several years proved that we will boat no matter the flow! Hiking and ground crew sections are available from flat trail to adventurous river corridor cleaning. We found some huge trash areas and have local neighbor’s helping out as well!
Be prepared for a long day on the river collecting trash. Bring snacks, hand protection, and dress for some degree of hiking the shoreline. Most of all have fun and feel good about making our rivers cleaner. There will be a BBQ at Flaming Geyser state park after the cleanup.
In person registration can be done from 10am-11am at the Headworks put in (just before the army corps gate on river left), at Flaming Geyser, and Kanasket-Palmer State Park (in the parking lot near ledge drop one) from 9:30am-10:30am.
Help us clean up the Green River and keep it one of the most beautiful rivers you can raft.
Cleanup members can camp at Kanasket-Palmer Campground, before and after the event. Please RSVP on Recreation.gov or by calling 360-319-6524. Unfortunately, the group site is not available this year. Individual sites are first come first serve, so reserve your spot soon!
GRCU will be hosting a BBQ at Flaming Geyser picnic shelter #3 on Saturday afternoon after the event for members (or a $5 donation for non-members)
