Join us for the 34th Annual Cleanup-Greenup, co-sponsored by Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) and the Greater Arkansas River Nature Association (GARNA).  Volunteers will work together to clean up 152 miles of the Arkansas River watershed in preparation for Spring runoff.

After the cleanup, join us for the Gear Up For Summer event, also being held at Riverside Park.  Other community organizations will be present, helping our local community to gear up for a safe and fun summer including free PFDs for youth.

Check in at Riverside Park or the BV Community Center from 8:30-9:30am to get trash bags and gloves. Trash can be left behind any AHRA recreation site three-panel sign, placed in the dumpster at the Buena Vista Community Center, or brought to our trash drop-off site at Riverside Park in Salida. B1 Energy will be on site to sort trash for recyclables!  All registered participants will be given lunch from noon-1pm, which will be served at Riverside Park (we’re working on lunch vouchers for BV).  (Poncha residents can also participate in the Poncha Town clean up day happening at the same time.)

Sponsored by High Country Bank, Apex Waste, B1 Energy and Salida Mountain Trails.
