22nd Annual Yuba River Cleanup Results

Thank you to our entire community of river volunteers for helping make this cleanup a success. We couldn’t remove 20,100 pounds of trash and recycling from 84 miles miles of the Yuba and Bear watersheds without the help of more than 900 dedicated volunteers.

And we couldn’t depict all your amazing work and ventures through the 33 Cleanup sites without the help of our brilliant volunteer photographers. Thank you to Bob White, Adam Dunn and Geri Stout.
