National River Cleanup Week saw volunteers turning out to help clean up
the San Joaquin River once more. We removed 15 cubic yards of trash
and 228 tires over the span of 6 days. We would especially like to thank
the San Joaquin River Conservancy and the US Bureau of Reclamation
for donating dumpsters, the California Department of Fish and Game for
their help, Vons for sack lunches, water and sweet rolls, Community
Medical Center, and of course all the wonderful volunteers that gave up
their time and treasure to help out. We have now removed 4,065 tires
from the San Joaquin River and its' banks in the last 4 years.

river cleanup. This year's event was a large one and a collaborative effort between
RiverTree Volunteers, Fresno State University and the California Department of Fish
and Game. Most important were the 95 volunteers who showed up bright and early at
four different sites along the San Joaquin River. Special thanks to our sponsors for
their support: Whole Foods, Vons, Fresno City Council member Henry T. Perea, City
Council member Brian Calhoun, Fresno County Parks, SunMaid Raisins, Blue
Diamond Growers, CalTrans, Starbucks, and Madera Disposal Service. Approximately
7 tons of trash and tires (220) were removed.
