If you want to lead a clean up at specific area that is not listed as a zone, please contact Calleigh Ross at calleigh.ross@myclearwater.com.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the event to allow for plenty of time to find parking, walk to the meeting location, and sign in. A brief orientation and safety talk will be given at the start of the event, and we want to make sure all volunteers are fully oriented on project details, safety, boundaries, etc. before they start the clean up. If you need to leave early, please let your site leader know in advance and sign out before you leave, so we know you got back safely.

A confirmation email will be sent several days prior to all who have signed up for the event. The email will contain a meeting address, parking information, meeting location, and anything else you need to know.
