October 24-31, 2020
Come out and help clean up the rivers and creeks within the River des Peres Watershed!
Due to COVID-19, our annual clean-up 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. You and members of your immediate household can choose from multiple cleanup sites within the watershed. Instead of a one day cleanup, you can remove trash and debris at your chosen site any time between October 24-31. Please preregister to select your cleanup site and supplies needed.

New in 2020! Want to help with storm drain marking?
We also need volunteers to help with Storm Drain Marking. This is an effective way to remind our neighbors that most storm drains in St. Louis County drain directly to a local stream or river. Keeping trash, chemicals, and other pollution out of our storm drains is important for area stream health.
Volunteers will use maps to locate storm drains and mark them with provided circular markers and adhesive. Storm drain markers, adhesive, gloves and maps will be provided.
Saturday, October 31
9:30 a.m. Deer Creek Park (Registration closed)
1 p.m. Lorraine Davis Park (Registration closed)
