The HRRP's Cleanups

The HRRP hosts various cleanup events throughout the year to maintain and restore the natural beauty of the Hutchinson River and its shoreline. These include river cleanups, where volunteers gather in small boats and along the shoreline to remove trash and debris polluting the river.
