The 19th Annual Haw River Clean-Up-A-Thon will be held March 14 along the shores of the Haw River and Jordan Lake.
Volunteers will gather at locations along riverbanks, creeks, bridges, islands and Jordan Lake to remove trash that threatens wildlife and water quality.
Last year’s clean-up collected more than 580 bags of trash and nearly 200 tires with the help of several hundred volunteers from Burlington to Bynum. The Haw River Assembly will provide bags and gloves to volunteers, who should bring clothing appropriate for the weather, sturdy work shoes and a willingness to work.
