For one week each summer, hundreds of kids and adults converge on a river to pick up trash during Iowa’s largest volunteer river cleanup event, Iowa Project AWARE. Join us for the entire week or just a few days. We’re happy to have you for whatever time works best with your schedule.

During Iowa Project AWARE, volunteers have fun and get a little muddy as they explore an Iowa river, remove trash, and learn more about watersheds, geology, archaeology, recycling, and other natural resource topics.

The expedition not only showcases a part of Iowa, but it also offers opportunities for residents and visitors alike to connect with the river and enrich their sense of place.
