River Watch – Spring 2021 Edition

You are here: Home / What We Do / River Watch / River Watch – Spring 2021 Edition

2020 & 2021 will go down as unique years on the River. Beautiful and windy weather, and pandemic constraints. But in spite of Covid-19, it was a very busy summer for Save The River (STR). Working remotely, our dedicated staff was able to keep all of the programs moving ahead and introduced Trash Free River to remove truckloads of plastic and trash from the River.
