Since its inception in 1992, National River Cleanup Week has helped to raise public awareness of the magnitude of trash accumulating in our nation's waterways. Over the years, more than 500,000 volunteers have participated in over 4,500 cleanups across the country, covering more than 100,000 miles of waterways. This past spring saw a record 422 cleanups, with an estimated 60,000 volunteers removing trash from their local rivers and streams.
Each year whitewater outfitters, the National Park Service, local watershed organizations, and volunteers tackle sections of the New River Gorge National River and her tributaries in clean-up efforts on our local waterways.
