2nd Annual Weber River Clean Up
September 14, 2019
For the second year in a row, Fish for Garbage and the Brighton Anglers converged on the Weber River at Riverside Park in Morgan, Utah. This event is coordinated alongside the International Cleanup Day as part of its rally cry to encourage people to get out and clean up this beloved waterway.
When we arrived in the early morning, temperatures were in the high 30s but that did not deter volunteers from showing up – many ready to go before the event even began. A few individuals traveled from Logan and Provo to support the cause, an unwavering commitment to our mission and the broader efforts to clean up waterways.
For the second consecutive year, Kayak Utah also hosted a cleanup and river float a few miles upriver and our collective turnout made for a strong turnout.
At the end of the day and despite cold morning temperatures, we had 75+ friends and families show up to take responsibility for the health of a 5-mile stretch of the Weber River. With the support of Cutthroat Rolloff Trailers as a great partner, we collected for over 1,500 pounds of trash. We want to thank everyone for taking the time to show up and show out!
A thank you goes out to all of our partners who supported us this year:
Traeger, Uinta Brewing, Coalatree, 801 Flyfishing, Hardy Fly Fishing, Redington, Electric, Tacky Fly Fishing, Rising Fishing Tools, Powder Mountain, DropJaw Flies, Blackstrap, USAC, Backcountry.com, FishOn Energy, Mondo Fly Fishing, Rainy's Flies Skullcandy, and anyone else we missed.
