2011 River Clean Up
Annual Photo Contest | CROW for KIDS | Freshwater Society's Community Clean-Up | Rain Barrel Program | River Clean Up | Riverwatch | Storm Drain Markers
The Crow River Clean-Up started in 2002
with citizens groups in Rockford (Crow River Pride), Hanover
(Hanover Area River Team - HART) and Delano (Delano Dream Team).
The cleanup activities inspired Diane
Sander, Watershed Coordinator for the Crow River Organization of
Water (CROW), to organize a regional event that would encompass the
entire Watershed. In the past seven years, the CROW has helped
coordinate over 1,851 volunteers to remove over
52.2 tons of trash from 234.8 miles of shoreline on the
Crow River and its tributaries.
The Crow River Clean-Up Day
is a one day event. Clean-up activities start at 8 a.m. and run
until Noon in each community. Following the clean up, volunteers
enjoy a sponsor provided lunch while they admire their piles of
trash. Each volunteer receives a t-shirt commemorating the event as
a thank you for all their hard work.
It’s a great activity for Boy Scout Troops, Cub Scout Packs, Girl
Scouts, 4H Clubs, Church or School groups, and businesses to
participate in.
