For over a decade, volunteers have combed the stream banks and waterways around Owatonna with the goal of cleaning trash and debris from the Straight River. With every passing year, more and more garbage is removed by hard working individuals and businesses who are dedicated to making a difference. This is the largest one-day clean-up event in Minnesota with over 200 volunteers working in 9 locations across the Cannon River Watershed.
The 15th Annual Watershed Wide Clean-up will take place in Owatonna on September 16th from 9am to 12 noon at Morehouse Park. The event is hosted by the Clean River Partners, who helps to find sponsors and coordinate the clean-up event.
Volunteers can sign up by visiting the Clean River Partners website.
