History

Project Clean Stream is an annual stream and shoreline cleanup coordinated by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and partnering watershed organizations. Project Clean Stream is held on a Saturday in April and engages volunteers throughout the Chesapeake Bay area.

In 2011, more than 5,000 volunteers turned out at over 220 cleanup sites to remove an estimated 300,000 pounds of trash and debris from streams and wooded areas throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

Take Action: Project Clean Stream from Chesapeake Bay Program.

This year, Project Clean Stream focuses on a larger message of the entire Chesapeake Bay watershed. As we seek more volunteers and sites in all stretches of the watershed, we are promoting and reinforcing the direct relationship that cleaner, litter-free streams and woodlands result in a healthier, more beautiful Chesapeake Bay.
