2010 Global Citizens' River Conservation Day

Keep Saturday, October 2, 2010 open for this year’s Global Citizens’ River Conservation Day, which 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.
