2027 MCYC Mill Creek Valley Cleanup by Canoe

Celebrate EARTH DAY by joining the Mill Creek Yacht Club for the 33rd Annual Cleanup by Canoe in the Mill Creek Valley!

Starting in April 1995, this community service event has been done in concert with the MCYC, Mill Creek Alliance, and local Public Works Departments.

Come wearing waders, boots, or sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting wet and muddy. No open toed shoes allowed. Cleanup crews in the boats meet in the early morning with the canoe mostly used as a vessel for carrying trash and “artifacts” hauled out of the creek. Take-out crews help offload the spoils from canoes to dumpster at the end of the cleanup.

Those who register will receive email updates on event details as needed.
