Wabash River Defenders The Wabash River Defenders is a volunteer group of people who want to preserve and protect the Wabash River.

We promote river trash removal and ecology, recreation, tourism, wildlife habitat and history of the one of the favorite rivers in the United States. We believe this body of water is one of the most important of all natural resources and deserves our collective defense. Each year on the last Saturday in July, volunteers Clean Out the Banks! The purpose of this event is to engage Wabash County in trash removal from the water and banks of the Wabash River from the Huntington County line west to the Miami County line.

Due to unsafe river conditions, we must cancel our 2026 7th grade River Wild raft trip. I know many of our volunteers will be disappointed but safety is our main concern. Thank you to all that have already put in the work to make this day great. Thank you USACE and DNR for keeping us up to date with information.
