River Sweep Clean-Up This Saturday

River Sweep clean-up will be held Saturday in an effort to decrease the amount of trash in and along the Whitewater River.

The clean-up begins at 1 p.m. with the registration site in Franklin County located at the Whitewater Canoe Rental at 1154 Main St., Brookville.

“There will be a few canoes available for people to utilize for the clean-up or volunteers are welcome to bring their own canoe or kayak,” said Dearborn County Watershed technician Heather Wirth.

Volunteers who are unable to go into the water may pick up trash on the banks of the river.

The River Sweep is sponsored by ORSANCO and the Whitewater River Watershed Project.
