The Great Rivers Greenway District, in partnership with the River des Peres Watershed Coalition, Missouri Stream Team, the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District and the City of St. Louis, is inviting area residents to clean up the rivers and creeks within the River des Peres watershed on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Clean-up will last from 8:30 a.m. to noon, followed by a BBQ lunch at Fultz Field from noon to 2 p.m. Volunteers will also enjoy musical entertainment and can receive prizes for the “best” trash finds in three categories—most expensive, largest, and “weirdest” trash. Registration will take place from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. at three locations – Fultz Field, located along the River des Peres Greenway on River des Peres Boulevard between Morgan Ford Rd. and Gravois Ave. in St. Louis City; the Heman Park Community Center located at 975 Pennsylvania in University City; and the University of Missouri-St. Louis Urban Ecology Trailer, located at the South Campus on East Drive.
