Earth Day TOWA NE River Clean Up Volunteer Event

Put a little spring in your step and volunteer with Spokane Riverkeeper!

Happy spring Spokane!

Join us for a family friendly river cleanup on April 19th, 2025! Cleaning up the banks and bottom of the Spokane River is a great way to volunteer, get some exercise, and meet new friends. It also helps our river!

Each year for Earth Day we remove about 8,000 pounds of trash from High Bridge and People’s Park. This trash that otherwise could end up in our river, damaging fish and wildlife, breaking down into microplastic, and is just plain ugly!

We will kick off at 10AM and be in the park until about 1PM—feel free to come and go as you like! Bags, gloves, and a limited number of pickers will be provided. Once you have your supplies, you can choose where you’d like to clean up throughout the area.

What to Bring and Wear:

• Wear sturdy walking shoes and dress for the weather.

• Bring sunscreen, gloves, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated while you work.

Let’s work together to protect and restore the Spokane River! We can’t wait to see you there.

Please register for this event on our TOWA website AND at Spokane RiverKeeper.org. For more details, check the Spokane Riverkeeper's website.
