The results are in! Good work everyone!!!
The results are in!! The Pearl River watershed had an extreme glow-up thanks to hundreds of volunteers, sponsors, and supporters along the Pearl, Strong, and Bogue Chitto Rivers and the Ross Barnett Reservoir pitching in to give their communities the gift of cleaner water! Red Bluff volunteers rappelled down cliffs, 4-H Kayak Clubs kayaked for miles on the Upper Pearl, over 100 Jacksonians and Boy Scouts scoured the banks of the river to protect the source water at our drinking water plant, many dedicated Site Leaders celebrated their 8th consecutive year of supporting the Sweep, residents of Monticello came together with industry partners for cleanup and fellowship, the Pearl River, Louisiana location on their 13th year said this was the cleanest they have ever seen the river, a local LA small business surprised volunteers with lunch and support, Osprey Initiative provided recycling support, 5 local colleges and 4 Keep MS Beautiful affiliates participated, and we could go on and on. So many stories of the community coming together for the sake of the river. Thank you all so much! Mark your calendars on the 3rd Saturday of September for the 9th annual Clean Sweep!
