Lower Salt River Cleanup with united by blue
On Sunday, May 15th, we teamed up with our friends at United By Blue to host a Lower Salt River Cleanup
41 volunteers, including 11 youth volunteers helped us remove 240.5 pounds of trash! We also had help from United By Blue staff and Natural Restorations Dedicated Restoration Team. We removed a lot of micro plastic, clothing, shoes, bottles, cans, coolers, wrappers, water floats, glitter, confetti, and much more! One of the strangest volunteer finds today was a cheese grater.
Thank you to Maria and everyone from United By Blue, we had so much fun teaming up them again! We teamed up with UBB back in June 2018 when we cleaned along the Rio de Flag Watershed in Flagstaff, so it was a lot of fun to work together again. Click HERE to check out that event.
