CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
River Clean-ups

River clean-ups are one exciting way that volunteers can do something tangible for local streams. The Miami Conservancy District has a tradition of involvement in these clean-ups and believes that a more aesthetically-pleasing river will encourage everyone to value the river more. River clean-ups also help maintain the flood protection system by removing debris and trash that caretakers would have to remove.

Clean Sweep of the Great Miami: Indian Lake to Ohio River
Local groups have joined forces to coordinate a clean-up of the entire 170 miles of the Great Miami. Dates and methods vary depending on local conditions.

The 2011 clean-up will be held on Saturday, May 7th for the southern sections (Middletown, south to the Ohio River).  The northern section will be held on Friday July 15th and Saturday, July 16th.  Logan County is scheduled for July 23rd.
