This Saturday, May 17 from 9 am to 1 pm join the City of Portland and SOLV to clean up the Willamette River in Portland from the Fremont to Sellwood Bridges. We will be breaking the river up in sections and assigning each to an interested resident, business, or volunteer to manage and pick up trash. The garbage bags will be picked up by boaters and transferred to a barge with dumpsters that will be traveling up and down the river. Since this cleanup is taking place along the Willamette be cautious working along the banks and watch out for homeless camps and poison oak. Bring your OWN DRINKING WATER, snacks, litter grabber, work boots, camera and if in a boat, your own PFD.

To register, for more information, and to be given a meeting points please contact Ray Pratt at the City of Portland at 503-823-3780 or rpratt@fire.ci.portland.or.us.
