About this event
This project will involve habitat preservation by removing debris and trash from the river to restore ecological integrity to the Jordan River Parkway and maintain the natural area.
What is a Canoe Cleanup?
The Jordan River faces many challenges as an urban river running through the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, one of which is trash in the river.
The litter comes from a variety of sources, litter and debris wash into the river from the many stormwater drains that empty into the river, some litter is a result of the adjacent trail users neglect, and other debris is thrown in the river intentionally.
The most effective way (and in some cases ONLY way) to remove the trash is from the river using canoes with nets.
The Jordan River Commission has 6 canoes for a maximum of 18 people to get the job done.
The JRC brings the canoes, PFDs, paddles, and instruction. All we need is volunteers to help with hauling trash from the river.
