Wrap up Lancaster Water Week by making a difference where you live and join the large network of Project Clean Stream volunteers dating back over 20 years! This year we are focused on the Conestoga River in part of it’s celebration as PA’s River of the Year. For this event join the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association on Conestoga Drive and help clean up the waterway. We will be meeting at Pavilion 1 of Lancaster County Central Park for a time of refreshments, celebration and brief remarks. All ages are welcome! After our morning rally, we will proceed as a group to Conestoga Drive for the clean up.
Schedule

- Let’s rally for the river! Join us at Lancaster County Central Park Pavillion 1 at 9 a.m. to enjoy community, snacks, and coffee as we hear from speakers before heading out to our Conestoga Cleanup sites. The Conestoga has been named the 2026 Pennsylvania River of the Year, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by stewarding this community treasure as a part of the 10th Anniversary of Water Week! All cleanup groups will launch following the rally.
