This Saturday morning, join the Spokane Riverkeeper for the Second Annual Spring River Clean Up event. Everybody will gather at the parking lot just upriver of TJ Meenach Bridge at 9 a.m and the event should wrap up at 11 a.m.

Volunteers will pick up gloves and trash bags, as well as some coffee and snacks. Then, it's on as you clean trash from the banks of the Spokane River. Groups will head out from the parking lot to both the north and south banks of the Spokane River and both upriver and downriver of TJ Meenach Bridge. 

Event organizers advise this is pretty mild terrain but you should wear shoes and dress expecting to get dirty. I missed this event last year but no way this year. The Spokane Riverkeeper says it best: "This is a great way to spend a Saturday morning and an even better way to make a measurable difference in the health of the Spokane River and the appearance of this great city."

Kids are welcome to attend with adult supervision. Hope you can make it!
