Volunteers Attending KTMB's Truckee River Cleanup

Measurement Period: 2024

Filter: none (all Counties)

Number of volunteers who participated in Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful's (KTMB) Truckee River Cleanup.

Why is this important?

Keeping the Truckee River clean leads to healthier community, as well as better civic engagement and pride. The goal is to empower volunteers to be stewards of the Truckee River Watershed through the removal of litter and invasive weeds in an effort to keep the waters clean for all to enjoy. Focused on the river and its tributaries, cleanup projects on the Truckee River span from Verdi to Lockwood to Wadsworth. Cleanup and beautification projects span from Verdi to Lockwood. Projects include storm-drain stenciling, litter pickup, graffiti removal, in-the-river trash removal (by kayakers and flyfishers), weed pulling and park beautification projects.

KTMB also helps organize neighborhood cleanups in public parks, open spaces, residential neighborhoods, along with the Truckee River, and will provide trash pickers, trash bags, and tools for cleanups.
