Come join the Inland Empire Chapter of the Washington State Geocaching Association (IE-WSGA) and the Spokane Riverkeeper for a fun river cleanup!
This CITO will give you a satisfying, high-impact chance to give back to the community by picking up trash by boat or on foot.
If you have one, bring your kayak, paddleboard, raft, or canoe to help with the water side of the cleanup. Or if you want to be part of the shore crew, wear sturdy shoes and gloves.
