Great Kern River Cleanup

The Great Kern River Cleanup is the premier volunteer event focused on removing trash and restoring the health of the Mighty Kern throughout Sequoia National Forest. This cleanup is an annual event coordinated by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy and this statewide effort—coordinated by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, in conjunction with California Coastal Cleanup Day**—serves to promote good stewardship on all of our waterways, from **the source at 14,000 ft., to the sea, the Pacific Ocean.

The Great Kern River Cleanup is about much more than picking up trash. It’s a day for local communities – and those from all over California – to demonstrate their desire for clean water and healthy rivers.

It’s an opportunity to learn about California’s water source and it’s a time to come together with your families, your neighbors, your community, and your friends to accomplish something vital and worthy on behalf of our great Sierra Rivers.

Meet location soon to come.
