As we use the river to play, drink and generate power, it tends to get a little dirty! Come help us pay the River back by working together to clean up to River!   

Aquarius Spring!, product of Coca-Cola North America is on board with the Catawba Riverkeeper’s mission to help protect the Catawba River! Aquarius Spring! Is on a summer tour reaching out to communities to share their mission (and ours) of encouraging membership, supporting grassroots organizations and inspiring community involvement in watershed protection.

Come join us and other Lake Norman organizations in making this the biggest Lake Norman Riversweep yet! Get your teams together and let’s beat last year’s wieght in trash bagged from our river!  

So how do you get involved? It's this easy.... Just click on the link below to let us know at which Clean Up Site you want to volunteer. Sign up and we will see you at 9a.m. on Oct 3rd (unless stated otherwise). You do not need a boat! All you need to do is dress comfortably, wear sturdy shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and a smile! We will provide you with bags, gloves, a Riversweep T-shirt and TRASH! You can come alone, with one or two others or as a team. Be prepared to get dirty!  

Thank you Lake Norman Island Keepers, SOLO, Fishing on Lake Norman, and Charlotte Mecklenburg Storm Water Services for working with Big Sweep and organizing clean up sites!

Please contact Regina at regina@catawbariverkeeper.org or 704.679.9494 for any questions. We look forward to having you be part of this amazing clean up effort.

If you do have a boat and would like to volunteer as a boat captain, please let us know!

In thanks for your efforts, please join us at Queens Landing for free lunch and live entertaiment by Matter of Fact, a Blues / Southern Rock / Jam Band
