Great Sierra River Clean Up

Join Friends of the Inyo, the Eastern Sierra Land Trust, the Sierra Nevada Alliance, and other host sites throughout the Sierra Nevada for the Great Sierra River Cleanup (GSRC) on Saturday, September 20th, 2025. GSRC is a Sierra-wide watershed cleanup event coordinated by Sierra Nevada Alliance in collaboration with California’s Coastal Cleanup Day. In 2024, 46,201 volunteers removed 398,654 pounds (199 tons) of trash from the Sierra Nevada waterways and across the state’s entire coastline.

This year, we’ll be cleaning up the Artesian Wells in Bishop!

RSVP HERE!*

🛠️All tools and PPE will be provided by Friends of the Inyo and ESLT

☀️Volunteers should bring plenty of water and snacks. You should also wear closed toed shoes and sun protective clothing. We will be using cars to shuttle between sites, so ability to walk long distances is not necessary. This is a family friendly event – all ages welcome!

🍩There will be coffee and donuts for volunteers

*RSVPs are always appreciated (so we can get enough coffee and donuts!) but if you don’t fill one out, you’re still welcome to join!
