Clean Creeks Project

Let's clean the creeks in the Lehigh River watershed! Through this web site, Wildlands Conservancy hopes to make it easy for community groups to organize their own successful cleanups. For over thirty years, Wildlands has been working hard to protect and preserve the land and water that makes up the Lehigh River watershed. Just pick a location from our list of suggested cleanup sites, register your group event, and we will provide guidance and free supplies. Together, we can enjoy clean creeks and rivers.

Registered groups are eligible for free gloves and trash bags. These items can be picked up at the Wildlands Conservancy office in Emmaus or at various locations on demand. Groups that organize a cleanup will receive recognition in our newsletter and our Clean Creeks web page. Groups that participate more than once a year will receive a prize!


Would you like us to post your Cleanup event on this web page and help you find more volunteers?
