HRRPs Sandford Sweep Cleanup

This unique cleanup gives participants the opportunity to make a direct impact on the health of the Hutchinson River while experiencing the ecosystem up close. Volunteers will help clean the shoreline and also enter the river wearing waders to remove debris directly from the riverbed.

By removing litter from both the water and surrounding shoreline, we can help improve water quality, protect wildlife habitats, and prevent debris from traveling further downstream. Whether you are a returning volunteer or joining us for the first time, your help makes a real difference in restoring and protecting this important urban waterway.

Waders and boots are available to borrow, but supplies are limited. Please email melissasw@hutchinsonriver.org ahead of time to reserve equipment and include your shoe size so we can ensure proper gear is available for you.

What to Bring:

Closetoes shoes

Long-sleeve shirt & Jacket

Hat

Gloves
