The 16th Annual Watershed Wide Clean-up will take place in Owatonna September 14 from 9 a.m. to noon at Morehouse Park. The event is hosted by the Clean River Partners who also helps find sponsors. Volunteers can sign up by filling out the Clean River Partners Volunteer Registration Form.
For more than a decade, volunteers have combed the banks of streams and waterways in and around Owatonna to clean up trash and debris from the Straight River. Every year, more garbage is removed by hard-working individuals and businesses who are dedicated to making a difference. This is the largest one-day clean-up event in Minnesota with 200-plus volunteers working in nine locations across the Cannon River Watershed.
