Ochoco Creek Clean-up October 17th, 2020 Thank you for your interest in helping with the Ochoco Creek Instream Clean-up! The reach of Ochoco Creek we plan to clean up is from Combs Flat Road to Harwood Street. This cleanup is sponsored by Crook County Rotary Club and the Deschutes Land Trust. Here are a few things to know: Registration will begin at noon at Pioneer Park (next to the City Police Station at corner of Elm and 2nd Street), and cleanup work will start as soon as teams are formed, briefed and ready to go. Volunteers will work in teams of four, with two people staged on the bank in support and safety of those working in stream. Form your team now! Each team will be assigned a section to focus on. We anticipate it will take about 2 hours to thoroughly clean a section. Trash bags, pickers and latex gloves will be provided. Bring rubber or other boots with traction for muddy and wet bank conditions, waders and neoprene gloves for those doing instream work, warm clothes, sunscreen, hat, eye protection/sunglasses, walking or wading stick for support. Be prepared for changing conditions, including windy winter weather and varying water levels. After the cleanup, we'll meet at Ochoco Brewing Company to celebrate our success.
