Clark Fork River Spring Cleaning Schedule

Clark Fork Coalition

Get your feet wet for clean water!

Temps are warming, streams are rising, and soon you'll be spending all your spare moments blissfully enjoying the river. Let's prepare for a summer of water recreation by cleaning up our favorite waterway. The Clark Fork Coalition is gearing up for an action-packed spring and we need your help! Check out our upcoming volunteer opportunities:


Reserve Street Clean Up: April 10th

8:30am-1:00pm (lunch provided)
Join CFC, the Poverello Center, and the Missoula Water Quality District to clean up trash under the Reserve Street bridge. This stretch of river has some unique needs associated with temporary camps along the river. Must be 18 years or older to participate. We will need 12 volunteers for this event.

Annual River Clean Up: April 18th

Times vary (lunch provided)
Help CFC host Missoula's most popular volunteer event! We need help with set-up, registration, serving lunch, and helping things run smoothly throughout the day. Great opportunity to get involved behind the scenes of a community-wide river celebration. Contact Katie for more info on specific jobs and time slots. We will need 15+ volunteers for this event.
Snowpack Monitoring: March 28th and April 25th
All day
Help predict spring and summer stream flows by monitoring Montana's snowpack! This is a full-day adventure in wintry conditions. You'll gain experience in snowpack data collection and enjoy a beautiful hike in the Sapphire Mountains. No experience required; snowshoes provided. Limited to 10 volunteers per outing.
