FHCS Green Team River Project

The Idea

River Cleanup is a community initiative aiming to clean and maintain rivers across the US. A group of volunteers work together, collaborate with community stakeholders and sponsors to clean up a local river.

Why it matters

Cleaning a river helps solve the problem that millions of tons of trash cause every year. Trash is more than just an eyesore, it contaminates our drinking water and threatens the lives of all people, wildlife, and communities who depend on clean water. It is also a great way to meet your neighbors and get some fresh air.

What you can do

You can apply for funding to run a river cleanup in your local community. Once you're ready to go fill in this short form, complete the 30 Day Challenge and we'll make sure you have everything you need to get started.

Our impacts will be field trips during the day. Our first one will be December 7th for the Verde River and we will do the Salt River on January 7th. We will use our funding to buy gloves, safety vest, garbage bags, and more. We will make sure to keep our green team members safe by having them all wear mask and maintaining 6 feet apart. Parents and teachers will provide transportation for the project as well. We are really excited to help clean up some of the best places in our community and make them healthier all around for the environment and the animals that live there!
