2025 Yuba River Clean-Up
Event Day: Saturday, September 20, 2025 - 9am – 12pm
Saturday, September 20th, the community-wide cleanup returns stronger than ever. With 22 sites and over 80 potential miles of watershed to clean, we are looking for the support of more than 500 volunteers. From 9 am to 12 pm, individual volunteers, families, groups, and organizations gather at sites with experienced leaders providing guidance and supplies.
Cleanup Celebration: 9/20 Post-Cleanup Party at Condon Park BBQ Pavilion – 12pm to 3pm
The fun continues beyond the cleanup! Join fellow volunteers on the 20th at Condon Park from 12pm to 3pm for lunch, games, music, and celebration.
Self-Guided Cleanup: September 20-26
Need to work cleanup into your schedule? Between September 20th and 26th, you can complete a self-guided cleanup in any location you like. Come to the SYRCL office at 313 Railroad Ave, Nevada City the week before to pick up your supplies and a wristband for the picnic. Once your mission is complete, return the supplies and data cards to the SYRCL office.
