Over the years, we have had some amazing educational partners tabling at the picnic portion of the French Creek Watershed Cleanup! This year we will have some returning partners and some new ones too... Whether you are interested in learning more about our local volunteer opportunities, interact with professionals working in the field of conservation and the environment, or check out local wildlife (like trout in the PA Fish and Boat Trout Truck!), this part of the cleanup is just one more reason to join us on September 12th!

Gather your team, pick a cleanup location of your choice, and register online at https://www.frenchcreekconservancy.org/events/event/09/12/2026/french-creek-watershed-cleanup

Looking back over the years, hundreds of volunteers (on foot and by boat) have come together to remove thousands of pounds of trash from French Creek and its watershed. We hope these photos from past cleanups inspire you to gather your team, choose a cleanup location, and join us on Saturday, September 12!

๐Ÿ“… Saturday, September 12 - Grab your friends, family, coworkers, or crew and make a difference!
