River Cleanups

PTRF holds two annual river cleanups each year. The first occurs in May-June in association with National River Cleanup Week. The second is on October along with North Carolina Big Sweep. To date, PTRF volunteers have removed more than 2.5 tons of trash from the Tar-Pamlico River and creeks since 2006.

Volunteer for National River Cleanup Week!

Our next scheduled river cleanup for Washington and Greenville is set for Saturday, May 24, 2008. If you are interested, please call the office or email riverkeeper@ptrf.org. Please check the calendar for more details.
