St. Marys River Clean & Celebration 2015

It’s time to mark your calendars again and save the date: Saturday, March 28 – The St. Marys River Clean-up and Celebration.

Each year, volunteers from four counties work together to free our lovely river of the trash that stifles her breath and sullies the marshes.

Last year, 94 St. Marys volunteers (including our City Council) collected 54 33-gallon bags of trash, 26 bags of recyclable material plus carpets, broken furniture, tires, plumbing fixtures, rotting boards and other debris from our roadside, riverfront and ditches. And that’s just what we could reach. 

We meet at Howard Gilman City Park (St. Marys waterfront) at 9 am and work until 12 pm, followed by lunch at White Oak Plantation. Our volunteers each year span ages from six years old to eighty-plus…and we do hope you’ll join us.
