Annual Yuba River Cleanup — 9/20

Each fall, something extraordinary happens along the banks of the Yuba River and its tributaries. Hundreds of volunteers — from toddlers to retirees, families to fishing clubs — unite for one purpose: to care for the river that runs through the heart of our community. Since 1997, the Yuba River Cleanup has brought people together not just to remove trash, but to build a healthier watershed and a stronger community. 

Following the Cleanup, all volunteers are invited to celebrate their hard work at the Volunteer Appreciation Party, starting at noon on Saturday, September 20 at a new location:

The BBQ Pavilion at Condon Park in Grass Valley.

This festive gathering will feature a delicious BBQ lunch from Bill’s Chuckwagon, a lively beer garden, family-friendly games, and a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. It’s a chance to relax, connect with fellow river stewards, and celebrate the collective impact made across the watershed. Lunch is free for all Cleanup participants. Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to join the fun because giving back to the river deserves a celebration! 

Thank you, 28th Annual Yuba River Cleanup sponsors!
