Come out and help clean up the rivers and creeks within the River des Peres Watershed anytime between Saturday, October 24 through October 31! Due to COVID-19, our annual cleanup event will be a little different this year, but we still need your help to take care of this valuable natural resource in our community. Volunteers and members of their immediate household can choose from multiple sites within the watershed for picking up trash or marking storm drain inlets. Instead of a one day cleanup, you can remove trash and/or mark storm drains at your chosen site anytime between October 24-31. Volunteers are asked to pre-register to select a site and to help event organizers coordinate supplies. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Streamgram--River-des-P
