This cleanup will be taking place on **Wednesday, April 23rd** with the Cherokee Nation along Tahlequah Creek.
This cleanup is trail and creek based which means you might get wet down in the creek! Bring rubber boots if you have them. There will be a complimentary cookout for all volunteers at the Peace Pavilion at 12:30 pm following the cleanup.

There will be 3 sign in/water refill stations along Tahlequah Creek.
