We’re seeing real, lasting progress. Sites are getting cleaner year after year. As conditions improve, we can retire or pause sites and redirect efforts where they’re needed most: tackling persistent dumping and expanding to new priority areas.
Step by step, we are transforming our waterways, improving water quality along the entire length of the Chester, Ridley, and Crum Creeks and their tributaries.

...and we can't forget 2025!
Through an enormous collective effort, our volunteers made a profound impact on the health of our streams. While it can be jarring to see the trash and debris that is pulled out of our streams and streambeds, it is also gratifying to know that our volunteers are making a tangible impact.
The totals from the day:
- 34,020 pounds of trash removed = 17+ tons
- 971 bags filled
- 220 tires collected
