Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy Invites Volunteers For April 4 Stream Cleanup In Berks, Bucks, Lehigh, Montgomery Counties

Looking to make a positive difference in the health of our local environment?  Sign-up for the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy’s annual Stream Clean-up and help us remove trash, tires and other debris from regional waterways.  
The Perkiomen Watershed encompasses 362 square miles in 55 municipalities and four counties-- Berks, Bucks, Lehigh and Montgomery.
The Clean-up is scheduled for April 4 from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. With over 100 clean-up sites throughout the watershed, it is easy to find a site that would work best for you!  
Sites can accommodate a wide number of volunteers so be sure to bring your friends, family, and co-workers.  
Or, if you have a pick-up truck, volunteer as a pick-up crew member to haul trash from the sites to the dumpsters from Noon to 3:00 p.m. 
Sign Up Today!
Visit the Perkiomen’s 2020 Stream Clean-up webpage today to join the 1,000+ volunteers who have already registered and be a part of the largest stream clean-up in the state of Pennsylvania!
