HEY, Y'ALL! I hope the first few weeks of school have been going well for our student volunteers (and all their parents too)! We are going to keep our cleanup program going throughout the school year, as well as our private cleanups and school/group presentations. If you are interested in any of these other options, please email info@blackwarrioriver.org. Be sure to spread the word and bring a friend along!
