Fwd: River Cleanup Challenge

[Environment & Sustainability Program]

We’re launching the Deep River Riverkeeper River Cleanup Challenge — a chance to show how your community is protecting local waterways.

Join a river or creek cleanup and share your experience in one of three ways:

📝 Write a 400-word reflection

🎥 Record a 1–3 minute video

📸 Submit 1–3 photos from the cleanup

Tell us how many bags of trash you collected, and why protecting rivers matters to you.

Cleanups organized by local Riverkeepers count too — just log the number of bags of trash you filled and share what the experience meant to you.

🏆 Prizes:

• Certificates of participation

• 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category

• Riverkeeper swag bags

Submissions open: March 15

Deadline: April 15

Send entries to: step...@deepriverkeepersnc.org

Or text: (336) 500-7277

Every bottle removed from a river is a step toward restoring it.

Let’s show what communities can do when we work together. 🌿
