Volunteers will meet at the Whitewater Preserve at 8am on 10/24. We will begin with a brief presentation from the hosting land management agencies and partners: Wildlands Conservancy, and Sand to Snow National Monument staff from USFS and BLM. This will include an overview on Leave No Trace ethics that will inform our clean-up activities. From there, participants will move down-river to popular recreation areas where we put our newly learned LNT skills into action by focusing on trash collection.

Participants are encouraged to bring sun protective gear such as long sleeves, hats, gloves and sunscreen. Water bottles can be re-filled at the Whitewater Preserve where there are also bathrooms available. BLM will provide trash bags, trash grabbers and removal of all collected debris.
