Volunteers will meet at Clear Creek Valley Park (3700 W 58th Pl, Arvada, CO 80002). There are parking lots on both the west and east side of the park. Volunteers are encouraged to use alternative transportation to attend the project. This is part of an effort to work along a 19.5 mile stretch along the Clear Creek along with other tributaries. Past efforts have resulted in the collection of 42,000 pounds of trash. Mismanaged trash that escapes into waterways can create a wide range of problems. Aquatic trash affects water quality, endangers plants and animals, and pollutes the outdoor spaces that we depend on for tourism and recreation. Be sure to join us for our post project celebration. Volunteers will be treated to live music, free food from a handful of food trucks and beer for individuals 21 years of age and older. Volunteers arriving on foot or bike will receive an extra raffle ticket for a chance to win amazing prizes.
