Volunteers are needed to help clean up the Mainstee River as part of On the Ground, Michigan United Conservation Clubs’ volunteer wildlife habitat improvement program in partnership with the DNR.
Saturday, July 16, On the Ground will partner with Steelhead Manifesto for the annual cleanup of the Manistee River in Manistee County.
The event will begin at 9 a.m., and volunteers will meet at the High Bridge Boat Launch in Brethren and then head out on the water by boat to clean up large stretches of the river and remove garbage to improve the aquatic ecosystem. All equipment will be provided, including gloves, trash bags and grabbers.
The Manistee River is one of Michigan’s National Wild and Scenic Rivers and a very popular location for anglers, paddlers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
All registered volunteers will receive lunch and a volunteer gift.
Register for a fun day of volunteering on the Manistee River.
If you have any questions, please reach out to MUCC habitat volunteer coordinator Kristina Kennedy.
