5th
Annual Crow River
Clean Up Day
September 13, 2008
The Crow River Clean Up Day began in 2002 and has continued to
evolve. The 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 clean up 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 four years, the CROW has helped coordinate over 1,040
volunteers to remove over 30 tons of trash from 118 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. Volunteers leave with a sense of
accomplishment, muddy feet, sore back, and a better understanding of
the Crow River and its beauty.
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.
Please
contact Diane Sander,
CROW Coordinator at 763-682-1933 Ext. 112 if you would like to
participate.
