Opportunity Details

The Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup brings together over 3,000 volunteers each year to pick up litter, remove invasive species and assist with park maintenance. Residents are drawn to the popular Charles River Cleanup from a desire to give back to their community while enjoying the beauty and wildlife along the Charles River. Volunteers build on the connections they establish during this day of stewardship by returning to the Charles to exercise, play and enjoy nature throughout the year. In 2016 and 2017, the Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup was recognized by American Rivers for the Most Volunteers Mobilized.

The day of the Cleanup volunteers will register and once checked in with their team leader at 9:00 am, volunteers will be supplied trash bags, gloves and pickup sticks to discard trash and remove invasive species until 12:00 pm. Snacks will be provided. While supplies last, each volunteer will also receive an Official 2018 Charles River Cleanup T-shirt designed by a student of Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

At the completion of the Cleanup at 12:00 pm, volunteers will gather for a picnic and celebration tentatively scheduled for Fiedler Field (near Hatch Shell Park). Speakers, including CRWA Executive Robert Zimmerman, State Senator Brownsberger and other project partners will thank volunteers for their dedication to making the Charles River a beautiful place to live, work and play.
