2017 – 32nd Green River Cleanup!!! May 6, 2017
Join us at the 32nd Annual Green River Cleanup on May 6th!!! Every
year lots of outdoor enthusiast enjoy the day recreating along the river,
and cleaning up trash at the same time. As always, there will be lots to
do for boaters and non boaters. River stretches are rated class 2-4. The last
2 years proved that we will boat no matter the flow! Hiking and ground crew
sections are available from flat trail to adventurous river corridor
cleaning. We found some buge trash areas and have local neighbor’s helping out as well!
Registration goes from 9:30-11 AM at the Headworks, and Kanasket-Palmer
State Park from 9am- 11:30AM. Help us clean up the Green River and keep it
one of the most beautiful rivers you can raft.
Cleanup members will enjoy free camping at Kanasket-Palmer Campground, Friday and
