Global Citizens River Conservation Day

October 6, 2012

Global Citizens’ River Conservation Day has grown into the first ever watershed-wide citizen cleanup of the Kalamazoo River and its tributaries. Growing out of the successful cleanup program conducted in the Battle Creek and Marshall areas the last few years, it is part of an international cleanup event stemming from the city of Battle Creek’s sister city relationship.

Anyone from kids to the elderly can get involved. Get your Civic Club, Scout group, or church organization on board! Whole schools or individual classes are welcome!

Because of this year's oil spill, no Kalamazoo River sites will be included in this year's cleanup.

For further information, download this brochure, or contact us.
