10A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL OCTOBER 4, 2017
Great Willamette clean-up Saturday
Willamette Valley Region, OR – River enthusi-
asts from Oakridge to Portland are invited to take
part in the 2017 Great Willamette Clean Up, a
free family-friendly public event, uniting cleanup
efforts across the entire Willamette River Basin!
Participants can register at several locations north
to south, from Scappoose Bay to Portland, Salem,
Albany, Corvallis, Eugene, Springfi eld, Cottage
Grove, and Oakridge, Oregon. In all, there are 27
locations hosting cleanup opportunities all along
the river.
In Lane County, the cleanup effort will begin at
Greenwaters Park in Oakridge to Turtle Flats at
the confl uence of the Coast and Middle Forks and
beyond, following the urban greenway in Spring-
fi eld and Eugene.
Locations in Linn-Benton County include
Crystal Lake Park, Hyak County Park and Bow-
man Park.
In the greater Portland, volunteers can register
for sites at Scappoose Bay, throughout the Port-
land metro area and down through Milwaukie,
Gladstone, Oregon City and West Linn.
Volunteer land teams will be picking up trash
along greenway paths, parks, trails and boat
ramps while participants in boats ranging from
kayaks and canoes to rafts and drift boats will be
clearing debris from islands and hard-to-reach ar-
eas less accessible by foot.
Each year, the Great Willamette Clean Up re-
sults in hundreds of people working hard to rid the
river of trash and debris.
“This event really enables everyone to take
part, and to make a very clear difference for our
river from Eugene to Portland,” said Riverkeeper
and WR Executive Director, Travis Williams.
“This project highlights water quality issues,
while directly connecting people through a com-
mon goal to improve the Willamette River’s
health,” said WR South Valley Advocate Michelle
Emmons.

various sites online by clicking the REGISTER
