If you have ever fallen in love with this or any river, we invite you to join us for this spectacular day of organized chaos where 300+ river-lovers jump in their rafts, kayaks, drift boats – or maybe even dawn a snorkel mask – uniting to scour the banks and bottom of 20+ miles of riverway from Milo McIver Park to Clackamette Park where the Clackamas empties into the Willamette. The annual Down the River Clean Up is an on-the-river, 20+ mile clean up made possible by a rich network of river recreationalists, outdoor companies, environmental organizations, government entities, local community leaders, and hopefully you! A total of 3,635 community members and volunteers have joined together each year for the past 14 years to remove over 66,040 pounds of trash from the Clackamas River. Our dream is to create a community where everyone loves their rivers as much as we do and that some day, we can throw a party on the river without having to clean it up. Join us in turning restoration into recreation! Visit the links to the right for detailed event information and volunteer roles. REGISTRATION IS LIVE!

This event is a restoration project for the forested area at LeRoy Haagen park. A multitude of animals call this forest home: red tail hawks, native ground bees, rabbits, and is visited by deer and the occasional kestrel and bald eagle. Typical projects vary depending on the time of year, but include English ivy, Holly, and Himalayan blackberry removal, and mulching for Shiny Geranium and Herb Robert control. When this event began in 2015, there was a near carpet of eight different invasive plants. Because of that, there are very few young native trees. From September to February we will be planting a small number of native seedlings gathered from neighbors. Este evento es un proyecto de restauración por el bosque de LeRoy Haagen Park. Un gran cantidad de animales tienen un holgar en este bosque: halcones colas rojas, abejas nativas, conejos, y visitado de ciervos y a veces un cernícalo y águilas calvas. Proyectos típicos varia dependiente la estación del año, pero incluye extracción de hiedra inglesa, acebo, zarza Himalayana, y cubriendo con mantillo geranium lucidum, y geranium robertianum. Cuando empezó el evento hace tres años, había casi una capa de ocho plantas invasivas. Por eso, hay muy pocos árboles jóvenes nativos.
