Volunteers Come out by the 1000's for Spring River Cleanup

April 27, 2012

100_1325The numbers are in, and....duh-da-duh...The 17th Annual Spring River Cleanup is our biggest yet!

Over 4,150 volunteers came out to 52 sites throughout the Greater Milwaukee area on Saturday, April 21st.  Citizens picked up all kinds of river trash from car tires to sofas to computer monitors. 

Milwaukee Riverkeeper thanks everyone who lent a hand (or two) to make our waterways and river parkways more beautiful, and a special thank you to our tireless volunteer coordinators who put in the hours recruiting volunteers and coordinating the day!  This wonderful event could not have been done with you.

To see some of the great press we received check out the articles in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brookfield Patch, and Fox 6 News.
