The Santa Fe Watershed Association is dedicated to protecting the Santa Fe River because a healthy community starts with a healthy river. "Clean and healthy rivers provide everything from clean drinking water to recreation opportunities to fish and wildlife habitat," said Andy Otto, executive director of the SFWA .
American Rivers’ National River Cleanup is a series of nationwide community-based river and stream cleanups. This popular annual event raises public awareness about the need for healthy rivers and is great opportunity for civic engagement. The Santa Fe Watershed Association will be participating along with tens of thousands of volunteers taking part in hundreds of cleanups across the country to remove trash from local waterways.

"The Santa Fe Watershed Association is committed to keeping the Santa Fe River clean so we can protect and restore it for us - and future generations. Participating in a river clean-up is one way that citizens can do their part for the river we all love," said Board President, Kristina Fisher.
"Rivers connect us to each other, to nature, and to future generations. It is wonderful to see so many people in Santa Fe and across the country taking action to protect and restore their rivers and clean water," said Bob Irvin, President of American Rivers. "We applaud the Santa Fe Watershed Association for the work they do on behalf of the river and the community."
