Ol’ Dirty Gets Scrubbed Down

The ol’ dirty South Platte is about due for its annual spring clean-up. This Saturday volunteers will storm the Denver area carp mainstay to pick up trash along the riverbanks and its bike paths. Hit the link for more information on how to get involved.

“This is an Earth Day event in conjunction with the Greenway Foundation where volunteers pick up trash along the South Platte River. We usually have between 150 and 250 volunteer rafters, kayakers, cyclists and pedestrians. In past clean ups we successfully removed an average of 1.5 TONS of garbage from the river and bike path each year. The event garners local and regional media coverage on Fox News and 9 NewsTV channels, as well as appearing in the Denver Post newspaper. We start at the Union Ave Put In, raft, kayak, bike and walk 6 miles of the S. Platte River and Bike Path finishing at Habitat Park.”
