Earth Day Celebration and River Cleanup

The Clark Fork River Cleanup is an annual tradition when the community comes together to clean trash along the river banks before spring runoff and high water hits. Hundreds of people–including individuals, families, friends, schools, and business teams–join together for a good cause and celebrate the river we love and respect.

The 2023 Clark Fork River cleanup is back in person for the first time since 2019! We’re so excited to see you at Caras Park on Saturday, April 22, 2023. The morning will kick off with an Earth Day celebration and a cleanup of the downtown river corridor followed by a free BBQ lunch!

DIY Cleanup

We’ve had three successful years hosting a popular DIY cleanup. Covering over 180 miles of river and collecting mountains of trash, the DIY river cleanup has an incredibly positive impact on the river’s health.We will continue to support a DIY cleanup option for areas outside the downtown corridor from April 23 – 26, 2023. Stop by our offices for supplies, maps, and tips for a successful day helping the river.

Sponsor the Cleanup!
