California River Keepers

Get involved

California's rivers cover more ground than any one crew can reach. Every volunteer adds to the record, and to the case this program brings to public agencies. Here is how to take part.

Join a cleanup

Two to four hours on the river. Grabbers, bags, gloves, and safety vests provided; bring sturdy shoes and water.

Adopt a site

Take a turnout, campground, or stretch of riverbank and keep it clean on your own schedule. Gear is supplied and your hauls are logged to the dashboard.

Expand the map

Miles of watershed remain uncovered. Scout a new site and steward it.

Partner with us

Fly shops, scout troops, service clubs, and conservation groups can co-host a cleanup day, with results published alongside ours.
