One of the most common ways for volunteers to get involved in their local environment is through river cleanups. Local rivers are often in dire need of help and dedicated volunteers are there to answer the call. They are often on and in their local river all year long and in all kinds of weather. And it’s the kind of volunteer story I like to highlight on here from time to time. Here are just a few recent ones:
A “Source to Sea” cleanup effort recently took place along the Connecticut River, in locations from its source near Canada all the way to the Long Island Sound.
The annual Rivers Alive cleanup recently took place along bodies of water in the Athens, Georgia area.
Volunteers have been working to clean the Bakulahi River in India.
With similar cleanups happening in Florida and Wyoming.
