Community Programs

Talk Trash With Us: Riverfront Cleanup!

Friday, February 13th

9:00AM-11:00AM

Change your Friday the 13th karma to "gold" by helping us clear out the litter and drift-waste that the river moved through our beautiful trails. Come hang out, get your hands a little dirty, and help us restore the campus!

We provide the gloves and trash grabbers; you provide the muscle (and the banter). Let’s show this riverfront some love!

Before You Head Over: To make check-in a breeze, please RSVP and fill out our volunteer waiver before you arrive. It’s quick, easy, and gets you to the fun parts faster!

Join Our Winter Wanders Volunteer Team!

If you are interested in volunteering for our Winter Wanders, we are still looking for volunteers for various Friday and Saturday strolls! Volunteers join WRI staff to lead an easy walk around the Leavenworth Fish Hatchery winter trails, sharing stories and information as much as you are comfortable with! Below are the dates we're in need of a volunteer.

If you are ready to sign up or if you have more questions, email Fern!
