This year, with our in-person programs on pause due to public health concerns, we continued to care for the Trinity River through virtual cleanup activities, which volunteers could do from the comfort of their own homes, neighborhoods, and local parks and trails. While we missed getting together at the river, we still made a significant positive impact together.
Virtual Trash Bash
Volunteers were asked to pick up trash in their neighborhood, local parks and trails, or in designated areas along the Trinity River.
Go Green At Home
Volunteers opted to go through their household waste and sort out what can be recycled, or complete other DIY activities provided by Green Dallas (City of Dallas Department of Environmental Quality & Sustainability).
Volunteers helped to keep the Trinity River clean by reducing the amount of trash and debris entering our waterways and the river.
- 312 volunteers participated in our Virtual Trash Bash and Go Green at Home activities
