RRC hosts a Rainbow River Clean Up Day every year, welcoming local organizations and volunteers to join our effort to pull as much trash from the river as possible. RRC provides lunch for the volunteers, and awards prizes for categories such as "Most Unusual" and "Most Dangerous" items found. It’s a fun, educational event, and always very productive.
On 5/17/25, our incredible community once again came together for the annual Rainbow River Cleanup, and the results were both inspiring and encouraging. Volunteers of all ages gathered to preserve the natural beauty of our beloved river.
What made this year’s cleanup especially rewarding was a powerful observation: there’s less trash in the river than in previous years!
Each year, we see people show up and we have less garbage to collect. It’s a sign that our collective efforts, such as education, and reducing single-use plastics, are truly making a difference.
From families and kayak groups to divers retrieving hidden debris, everyone played a part. Together, we not only cleaned the river, but also celebrated our progress. This is what community looks like: showing up, protecting what we love, and leaving a place better than we found it.
Thank you to every volunteer, and supporter. Let’s keep this momentum going and continue to be stewards of the Rainbow River for generations to come!
Our 2024 Clean Up event was held in May, with a great turnout, and a trailer full of trash removed from the river. THANK YOU to all who participated!
