Annual Deschutes River Cleanup
The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council is hosting the 27th annual Deschutes River Cleanup on Saturday, July 29th! Cleanup activities will take place at five different sites on the Deschutes River where volunteers will help pull invasive weeds and remove litter from the stream banks. The cleanup sites are La Pine State Park, Farewell Bend Park, Riverbend Park, First Street Trail,and Tumalo State Park. The Deschutes River Cleanup is an opportunity for us to come together to steward the Deschutes River and its riparian areas. Recreation in and around the Deschutes River has led to significant impacts to the health of the river and, in order to keep our river beautiful and protect water quality for fish and wildlife, the Watershed Council coordinates the Deschutes River Cleanup every year. Thank you for your support as a river steward!
