Cane River Community CleanUp Day
Saturday - April 22, 2023 10:00 am

Mark your calendars now! In honor of Earth Day and Love the Boot Week, Cane River National Heritage Area will be hosting a Community-Wide Cleanup. Individuals, families, organizations, and groups of all ages and sizes are invited to join us on Saturday, April 22nd (Earth Day!) as we work together to create a cleaner, greener, more beautiful Cane River Community! 

We will provide all the necessary supplies, including gloves and trash bags. Just come in comfortable clothes and shoes, bring a water bottle, and we'll take care of the rest!

The Cleanup will begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at 1:00 p.m. Volunteers will meet at the Cane River National Heritage Area booth at the Natchitoches Farmer’s Market (Natchitoches Riverbank) that morning to pick up supplies and be assigned a cleanup area.
