Trash to Treasure: A River Cleanup & Art Project

June 14 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join Glen Foerd and the Friends of the Poquessing Watershed (FOPW) in preserving the beauty and health of the Delaware River! The cleanup will take place along the riverbanks and on an exposed sandbar, removing debris to help protect wildlife and our waterways.

Be prepared to get wet and muddy!

What to Bring:

  • Sturdy shoes that can get wet and muddy

  • Clothes you don’t mind getting dirty

  • A reusable water bottle and snacks

  • Sunscreen and insect repellent

What We Provide:

  • Gloves

  • Trash grabbers

  • Trash bags

  • Drinking water

A Creative Treasure Hunt!

Not all that’s lost is waste—some of it is waiting to be discovered! Our Artist in Residence, Cory Kram, will be on-site, sifting through the river’s offerings in search of hidden treasures. This wealth of found material will be transformed into art, proving that even discarded objects can have new life. Participants are welcome to assist in the search for artistic gems and will be invited back to help turn this reclaimed treasure into something truly special.
