22nd Annual Down the River Cleanup

How clean can a river get? Let’s find out!

The Clackamas Down the River Cleanup is the largest and longest-running on-water cleanup event of its kind in Oregon. After we clean the river, we gather at Barton Park for a BBQ celebration.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy floating down the Clackamas River while also joining your community in removing litter and debris that accumulate over the busy summer season.

National Night Out in Happy Valley

Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES) is partnering with Happy Valley on Tuesday, August 5, for National Night Out — a community celebration dedicated to strengthening neighborhood spirit and fostering relationships between residents, police, first responders, and key service providers. The WES team will showcase the TV truck that inspects sewer pipes and share how it and WES serve the community. Stop by and say hi. It's a family-friendly fun event with great food, interactive safety exhibits, and live music!
