Weather permitting, our sturdy fleet of row boats will be available for those who are interested in getting out on the river and pick-up trash at the same time. Lifejackets and a rowing guide provided.
Meet at the entrance to All Hands Boatworks' boatyard, which is located in the northwest corner of the Emmber Lane Bridge. Parking is available in shared lot with Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful, and north along Mt. Vernon Ave. The AHB boatyard is located adjacent to KGMB.

We will provide the bags, gloves, and FREE T-SHIRTS and YOU provide the hands and energy to pick up trash, litter, and the interesting and sometimes bizarre pieces of garbage that find their way into our beautiful river system. Grab a garbage bag and let's clean some river!
You can sign-up as an individual or as a family/team, but either way, please email your name(s) and phone numbers to Krista at kristadunn1@att.net, or call 414-331-4175.
