St. Joseph County Conservation District is hosting its final river cleanup of the 2024 season later next month.
The next event is Sept. 21 on a stretch of the Portage River, from North Fisher Lake Road in Park Township to Carpenter Road in Lockport Township.
Coordinator Eric Pretzlav said anyone interested in volunteering is asked to call the Conservation District so organizers can coordinate kayak or canoe rental, as well as plan food for lunch. It can be reached at 467-6336, Ext. 5.
Prospective volunteers interested in using their own watercraft are welcome to show up; transportation back to the launch site will be available.
The event starts at 9:30 a.m. Participants are asked to arrive 15 minutes early.
