Because of the covid-19 pandemic, we made the decision early on to cancel all of our 2020 events. Not only did we have plans to expand our cleanups to Oregon, we were also looking forward to implementing our educational curriculum.
And with still relevant concerns of spreading the virus, this year’s Lower Provo River cleanup was different from the traditional gathering style. Because we have never hosted a drive thru event, we capped our volunteers at 250 – a number that was quickly exceeded. Because there was so much interest we opened the event to unlimited capacity and received a few hundred more signups, totaling 380 registrations. Thank you to everyone who registered ahead of time and helped us prepare an adequate amount of supplies and swag bags.
Thanks to our incredible sponsors, partners and volunteers, our drive thru event was a huge success! After taking a year off of cleanups, we pulled over 12,000 pounds of trash out of the Lower Provo River with well over 400 volunteers.
We cannot thank all of our supporters and participants enough for keeping our mission alive and kicking off our 2021 events with a bang! We truly cannot do what we do without you!
We are grateful for the support of our sponsors who have remained committed to our mission over the years.
This year’s event was sponsored by Provo River Watershed Council.
