For over 15 years, we’ve brought together communities across the Cannon River Watershed to clean up area parks, rivers, and lakes at our largest annual volunteer event of the year.
We achieve this by partnering with local organizations and recruiting volunteers to remove litter from these areas, including items such as car seats, tires, lawn chairs, mattresses, food wrappers, clothing, and more.

Fifteen Years of ‘Leaving It Better’ in Medford
For over a decade, Carla and Byron Brady have been at the forefront of the Cannon River Watershed-Wide Cleanup, sharing their passion for the river and encouraging countless community members to get involved. As site leaders for the Medford area, they’ve left a lasting mark on both the Straight River and its supporters. Their journey began in 2009, the inaugural year of the cleanup initiative, and after an incredible fifteen years, they’re ready to close this chapter in 2024.
