Confluence Clean-Up August 14
Confluence Clean-Up Presented by Rotary Club of Defiance, Meet at Pontiac Park.
Help our community beautify our rivers by joining us in cleaning up trash and debris. Come with your boat, canoe, rowboat or kayak. Most of the clean-up will need to be done from the water so the more boats the better! Pedestrian volunteers are also needed along shallow riverbank areas.
Wear appropriate clothing including sturdy shoes, layers, and work gloves
Bring a fishing net!
Trash grabbers will be provided
We will have tarps to protect your boat but feel free to bring your own
Gloves are available
