Help support the preservation, protection and appreciation of our river with Community Thread’s River Rally: St. Croix River Clean Up. The scenic St. Croix River is where we go to canoe, fish, swim, or simply take in the view.

Join fellow river lovers on September 7, starting at 9:00 am, to protect and preserve this beautiful river.

This volunteer event is hosted in partnership with the National Park Service, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Washington County Conservation District.

All volunteers will be meeting at the Zephyr Theatre parking lot and we will have a picnic lunch after the event at the Zephyr. Their address is: 601 Main Street North, Stillwater, MN 55082.

The Brown’s Creek Trail clean up and Storm Drain Stenciling will start from that parking lot and the pontoon riders will walk 3 blocks to the Stillwater Boat Rental and get on the boats there. Boom Site Clean-up volunteers will need to drive to the Boom Site and Boom Site boat launch areas.
