Join us for a riverfront cleanup on the Monongahela River! We will be partnering with Allegheny CleanWays and Upstream Pittsburgh.
What will we be doing?
Volunteers will meet at the Duck Hollow Trail Parking Lot where we will go over safety, our work plan for the day, and then we will be off to work on land and water! Volunteers will work along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail and surrounding area to remove trash and invasive plants. Allegheny CleanWays we have their pontoon boat, Rachel Carson, to shuttle volunteers up and down the banks.
What do I wear?
Clothes: Please wear clothes that you are comfortable with potentially getting muddy/wet. Volunteers are required to wear long pants. We also recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt to avoid being scratched or coming in contact with poison ivy. Consider bringing a change of clothes in case you have a bit too much fun pulling a muddy tire of the river.
Footwear: Closed-toe shoes are required. We recommend rubber boots or waterproof boots.
What do I bring?
Please be sure to bring your reusable water bottle!
We will provide volunteers with work gloves, life jackets, safety glasses, and tools. We will also have all necessary safety equipment available such as first aid, sunscreen, bug spray, water, and light snacks.
