Why: because we care for the Kern River. Excessive litter has accumulated along long stretches of the river and we need to make a sustained effort to get it back to an acceptable state.

When: 9am-1pm

Who: Organized by the Bring Back the Kern, in partnership with the Kern River Parkway Foundation.

Where to meet: 2436 Oak St. We will be cleaning up under the bridge and across the river as well.

What to bring: lots of other volunteers, working shoes/boots, water, sun hat, mask for maintaining COVID guidelines when in close proximity to others

What will be provided: gloves and trash bags for cleanup. Feel free to bring your own materials if you prefer
