Be a CLEAN TEAM member and use the no-curl method to improve your arms by picking up trash from the river.

"Trash Mash" River Cleanup
Sat Jun 11th
8:00 am - Noon
Hot Dog Social immediately after at
FOR Community Center, 20450 CR 510-B
A 30-mile stretch of San Bernard River starting at the salt water dam above Hwy 35 west of West Columbia, to River’s End near the Intracoastal Waterway, is the cleanup area. FOR needs volunteers, organizers, friends and neighbors to tackle the job of removing unwanted items from the river. Anyone who pitches in will receive a Clean Team t-shirt (arms not included).
If able, bring a boat to one of the three collection locations and you will get directions from the volunteers there. Helpers without boats are welcome and can assist as boat crew members or as "haul out" workers at the ramps.
Dress dirty – gloves, rubber boots or adequate shoes, hat, sunscreen and bug spray. Trash team t-shirts, water and trash bags will be available at the collection sites.
A FOR Hot Dog Social is planned immediately following the clean-up at the FOR Community Center, 20450 CR 510-B. Come in your dirty duds but it's probaby a good idea to wash your hands before eating your "dog"!
This event is a great community rallying celebration that helps us unite in the true meaning of “Friends Of the River” with a goal of keeping the river clean, its mouth open and ensuring that it is healthy and flowing.
