The Friends of the Yampa, City of Steamboat Springs, and several other local groups will be hosting a river clean up event Saturday, August 8, 2020.

This event is an annual effort that spans many miles of river, typically from Steamboat Springs to Craig, and engages volunteers to give back to the Yampa River and to remind us all to respect the Yampa by keeping it clean and trash free. There will be several locations for participants to volunteer this year, one in Steamboat Springs, one at the Yampa River State Park area near Hayden, and one in Craig.

The Steamboat Springs event takes place from 9 AM to 12 PM, meeting at the Parks & Recreation Office at 245 Howelsen Parkway in downtown Steamboat Springs. Volunteers can check-in on Saturday morning starting at 8:30 AM at the Parks & Recreation Office to receive additional instructions and cleaning supplies.

All volunteers are asked to wear a mask and practice social distancing when checking in and throughout the day.
