Duck River Cleanup
What is the Duck River Cleanup?
The Duck River Cleanup is an annual, collaborative effort between Keep Maury Beautiful and Higher Pursuits. Our primary objective is to remove trash from the Duck River, its banks, and the surrounding river access points. Volunteers have the option to either float down the river to collect litter or clean up along the banks and river access areas on foot. As a token of our appreciation, we provide lunch for our dedicated volunteers!
“ The team at Keep Maury Beautiful does such a great job putting together the annual Duck River Cleanup. They always do a great job coordinating between the county sheriff, Higher Pursuits kayak rental, the city park and the many volunteers that participate. The tons of trash that have been removed from the river over the years helps keep the Duck River clean and protects the many endangered species that live in the river.”
