Join us for a fun morning of connecting with neighbors and cleaning up the watershed!

This marks our 17th year of bringing communities together across the Cannon River Watershed to clean up area parks, rivers, and lakes. And you could be a part of it! We love hosting our cleanup sites throughout the watershed, including places like Red Wing, Northfield, Faribault, Owatonna, and beyond.

Let us know you're coming. Register here.

Be a River Friendly Neighbor T-shirt Fundraiser

Show your commitment to protecting the Cannon River with our exclusive “Be a River Friendly Neighbor” t-shirt! This slogan was part of our logo in 1997 to encourage everyone to take responsibility for protecting local waters.

When you purchase a t-shirt, you’re not just getting a great shirt—you’re supporting the 17th annual Cannon River Watershed-Wide Cleanup and helping Clean River Partners expand our impactful work.

Join us in wearing this shirt during the Cleanup and proudly represent our mission to safeguard our rivers. Together, we can make a difference! The artwork for this campaign was created by Ava McQuain, our Community-Based Work Study rockstar from Carleton College.
