It’s common for trash and debris to end up in waterways – clogging drainage systems, impacting wildlife, affecting water quality, and ruining the view of our natural landscapes.
Be part of the largest watershed-wide clean-up in the state of Colorado! Creek Week volunteers clean up litter along a creek, trail, park, or open space throughout the watershed. We’re inviting individuals and groups (families, clubs, schools, neighborhoods, etc.) to form a Creek Crew. Get outdoors, get active, and get busy creating positive change for your community and those living downstream.
How to get involved
Creek Week cleanups happen across the watershed—from Palmer Lake to Pueblo—over
nine action-packed days of service and stewardship!
Whether you're ready to
lead a cleanup or simply want to
lend a hand, there’s a role for everyone.
Want to Host a Cleanup?
Register as a
Crew Leader to organize a cleanup at your chosen site. We’ll provide guidance and can supply free cleanup gear if needed.
Want to Join a Cleanup?
Register as a
Crew Member to sign up for an existing cleanup—no planning required. Just show up, pitch in, and make a difference!
Bring Your Own Supplies if you can—gloves, trash bags, buckets, and grabbers are all helpful—but gear is also available at no cost through the Fountain Creek Watershed District.
