SUMMARY:Johnson Creek Clean-Up 2023
DESCRIPTION:**ATTENTION: Registration will close Friday August 18th at 12noon. Please register before this time.**\n\nThe Johnson Creek Clean-Up returns August 19th\, 2023! This is your chance to GET IN the creek and GET OUT all the trash that has accumulated over the past year. Since 2007\, volunteers like you have jumped into Johnson Creek and pulled out over 70 tons of trash from the water. Yes that’s right\, over 70 tons! Don’t miss this unique opportunity to get in the creek and remove litter from where it matters the most. See you there! \n\nArrive at your site at 9:00 am to meet your team and Creek Captain and learn how to be safe in the water. Spend ~3 hours in the creek picking up trash\, then travel to Johnson Creek Park to have lunch at 12 noon.\n\n\n\nWhat: Remove trash from Johnson Creek! Get in the water or stay on land and help remove tons of trash from in and around the creek. Stick around afterward for FREE lunch\, award ceremony and time to connect with your watershed community.\n\nWhen: Saturday\, August 19th\, from 9:00 am – 1pm\, including FREE lunch\n\nWhere: About a dozen sites throughout the watershed! See site descriptions below. Detailed directions to your site will be emailed to you before the event. Lunch will be at Johnson Creek Park. \n\nHow to register: Registration is open now!! Registration will close at 12noon on August 18th.\n\n 	Carefully read the site descriptions below. Each site is different and some are more physically challenging than others.\n 	Pick the site at which you want to volunteer.\n 	 Register for ONLY the specific site at which you will volunteer.\n 	 If you are coming as part of a group\, each person in your group needs to register separately.\n\nHow to prepare: This event will happen rain or shine\, so dress for weather: rain coat\, warm layers\, sun hat\, and sunscreen as necessary. Wear shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting wet and muddy. You will be walking in the creek in your shoes. We recommend light-weight shoes like sneakers\, running shoes\, or breathable hiking boots that will drain easily\, rather than heavy boots that will stay water-logged.

Bring a filled water bottle and a snack.\n\nWe will provide: Gloves and all necessary tools\, plus free lunch at the end of the event. We can also provide bus fare to and from the event.
