25th Annual Brandywine River Cleanup

The Young Friends of the Brandywine are currently seeking volunteers to assist with its 25th annual cleanup. This event helps ensure cleaner water for more than 500,000 residents who rely on the Brandywine River as their primary source of drinking water—including those living in Coatesville and Downingtown and the City of Wilmington, Delaware — and it also aids in providing a healthier habitat for wildlife and a safer environment for recreational activities.

This event is appropriate for adults and children over the age of 5. To volunteer for the cleanup, contact Kaitlin LeRoy at (610) 388-8341 or kleroy@brandywine.org. Volunteers are asked to come to the Brandywine Conservancy building—located on the same campus as the Brandywine River Museum of Art—at 9 a.m. to register and be divided into teams to clean sections of the river banks.
