Perkiomen Stream Clean-up
Corporate Volunteer Day: Friday, April 10th
Community Volunteer Day: Saturday, April 11th, 9 am - 12 pm
Working together to clean-up & protect our local streamside habitats.
Every April, the Conservancy hosts a single-day watershed-wide event focused on removing litter, tires and other debris from regional waterways. This event brings together volunteers who work collaboratively to clean-up streamside sites, parks and open spaces throughout the watershed.
Since its creation in 2004, the Perkiomen Stream Clean-up has grown to become the largest single-day stream clean-up in the state of Pennsylvania with 1,770 volunteers participating in 2025!
