IDFG Needing Volunteers For Clearwater River Cleanup

Volunteers are needed to help pick up litter along the Clearwater River near Kooskia and Orofino on Saturday, September 10.

Volunteers, especially those with river boats or rafts, are asked to meet at 9 a.m. at either the Pink House Recreation Site near Orofino or the Kamiah boat ramp across from the City Park at the base of the Kamiah Bridge.

Cold drinks and snacks will be provided, as well as garbage bags and ties.

The goal is to pick up litter along the river from Kooskia downstream to Long Camp and from the Pink House site downstream to Cherry Lane Bridge.

Idaho Department of Fish and Game and Idaho Department of Transportation will pick up the litter bags volunteers leave along the highway.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will be sponsored by the Clearwater Management Council.

For more information, please contact Judy Culver at the Bureau of Land Management, 208-962-3796, or Don Beck at Fish and Game, 208-799-5010.
