Blue River Watershed Group extends our deepest gratitude for your incredible support of this year’s Blue River Festival and Countywide Cleanup. Whether you volunteered your time, donated resources, or helped spread the word, your contributions made this event a huge success!
Thanks to the dedication and hard work of volunteers like you, we were able to remove around 4000 lbs of trash! Your commitment to protecting and preserving the Blue River is truly inspiring, and it would not have been possible without you.
The amount of trash and weeds we cleaned up this year nearly tripled from last year. To say we are amazed would be an understatement! You all made this year's Blue River Festival such a success and delight; we could not be more proud and grateful!
A special thank you to our sponsors, partners, and fellow organizations who provided resources, shared expertise, and brought the community together to celebrate our local environment.
We look forward to building on this success and working together again to protect our rivers and enhance the natural beauty of our region.

Less water means a concentration of contaminants. Now more than ever, river habitat needs our help to ensure pollutants stay out of the water. Your participation as a volunteer or contribution as a sponsor proves you are an advocate for healthy waterways and riparian habitat. Remove garbage from the waterway to restore a healthy riparian ecosystem, enjoy time outdoors, make friends, and win amazing prizes! Prizes include local gift cards and swag.
