The French Creek Valley Conservancy will hold its annual French Creek Cleanup on September 8 with a volunteer picnic at the Cochranton County Fair Grounds, 125 Pearl Street in Cochranton, Crawford County.

Join the biggest day of volunteer stewardship in the French Creek watershed!

It’s year 26 for the Annual French Creek Cleanup!  Once again, volunteers will come together on the first Saturday after Labor Day to make the French Creek watershed an even better place to live, work, and play!

Any waterway in the French Creek Watershed is fair game-- trash all flows downstream, after all!  You can walk the banks or walk in shallow tributaries, or where appropriate, you can clean by kayak or canoe!

Your team can start cleaning any time the morning you would like on the day of the Cleanup. 

After cleaning your section of the watershed, bring your trash to the Cochranton Fairgrounds for the Volunteer Picnic and Weigh-In, both which begin at noon, but you must weigh in by 4:00 to be considered for prizes. 

While you’re cleaning, keep your eye out for that unique find and bring this special treasure to the picnic for a Most Unusual Find contest!  The picnic goes until 4:30.
