Willamette Clean Up Opportunity...and you get to go on a boat too!

Get Dirty For GOOD at the 10th Annual Great Willamette Clean Up, a watershed-wide day-of-action!

Next Adventure will be donating the use of kayaks & paddleboards for volunteers to utilize at Sellwood Riverfront Park and Scappoose Bay! Feel free to bring your own boat or participate by foot to free our river of trash and debris, while improving habitat and community spirit along the way. Afterward, enjoy a tasty lunch at our post-cleanup celebrations (see site registrations for details). Jump in at a riverside near you - 30 sites this year from the headwaters community of Oakridge all the way to Scappoose Bay in the greater Portland area! REGISTER TODAY!
