THIS CLEANUP EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
Thank you to all who have expressed interest in volunteering at the cleanup! The property owner has decided to address the trash dumping on their own terms and our assistance is not presently required along this section of the river.
Keep in touch with United By Blue, Keep Northeastern Pennsylvania Beautiful, and Susquehanna Warrior Trail for future volunteer opportunities in Northeastern PA!
Join United By Blue, Keep NEPA Beautiful, and Pennsylvania Environmental Council for a cleanup of the shoreline along the Susquehanna River! We will be cleaning up the area along the trail that runs between the Nanticoke Bridge (the old bridge) and the Route 11 Bridge (the new bridge) on May 12th, 2018.
Unfortunately, this trail is currently affected by illegal dumping practices, which negatively affect the health of the Susquehanna River. The river is both polluted by the trash locally, and also carries the trash further downstream during high tide and heavy rains. However, this can change with your help! This cleanup effort will remove the trash from the riverbanks, and prepare the area to be the newest extension of the Susquehanna Warrior Trail. Working together with local businesses, environmental partners, and community members, we can change this area from an illegal dumping location to a great place to recreate and enjoy the beautiful scenery!
Bring your friends and family, and join us for this local cleanup effort! We recommend wearing sturdy shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or wet. A free lunch and all cleanup supplies will be provided.
