SUMMARY:2026 Muddy River Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:The Muddy River Cleanup is a part of the Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup\, one of the largest Earth Day volunteer events in the nation\, bringing together thousands of volunteers across the entire Charles River watershed. Each year\, participants help remove litter and debris\, beautify parks and riverbanks\, and restore habitat for local wildlife.   \nBy joining the Muddy River Cleanup\, you become part of a regional effort that strengthens our shared green spaces\, builds community\, and inspires environmental stewardship.

Many return throughout the year to exercise\, play\, and reconnect with the river they helped care for. \nTo learn more and register for the cleanup\, click here.
