earth day lower salt river cleanup with

Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co., Distinctive salon, & arevon Energy

On Monday, April 22nd, 2024, we teamed up with Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co., Distinctive Salon, & Arevon Energy for our 9th annual Earth Day Lower Salt River Cleanup on the Tonto National Forest.

321 volunteers, including 15 youth volunteers, helped us remove 1,900 pounds (.95 tons) of trash from several recreation sites along the river! Volunteers also helped remove Stinknet (Globe Chamomile), a fast-spreading invasive weed.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Earth Day with us & make a huge impact on the Lower Salt River!
