Stream Clean-up

Working together to clean-up
and protect our local stream-side 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!

A big round of applause for our incredible volunteers and sponsors who made the 2025 Stream Clean-up a tremendous success! Thanks to your outstanding support, we cleared out a whopping 1,815 bags of trash, rolled away 231 tires and hauled off 3,240 lbs. of scrap metal from 182 locations!
