SYRCL Yuba River Cleanup

About this event

Save the date: Saturday, September 20th

Each fall, something extraordinary happens along the banks of the Yuba River and its tributaries. Hundreds of volunteers — from toddlers to retirees, families to fishing clubs — unite for one purpose: to care for the river that runs through the heart of our community. Since 1997, the Yuba River Cleanup has brought people together not just to remove trash, but to build a healthier watershed and a stronger community.
