Cedar Creek Watershed Cleanup
Where
Program Location: Visitor Center
Main Park Address: Natural Bridge State Park, 6477 South Lee Highway, Natural Bridge, VA 24578.
When
May 2, 2026. 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Get in the water and help Cedar Creek and the Chesapeake Bay downstream in this multi-part cleanup event.
Team up with park rangers to remove litter and debris from Cedar Creek and its tributaries. Everything we remove is one less piece of trash heading to the James River, helping not just the park but the whole Chesapeake Bay!
Pre-registration is required so we can have personal protective equipment available. We will lend volunteers gloves, insect repellent, and safety vests for those working near roadsides. Muck boots or close-toed water shoes will let you get in the water, but there is plenty to pick up off the banks.
To register, please call (540) 425-0837 or email aaron.farmer@dcr.virginia.gov
About Clean the Bay Day
Each year Virginia State Parks participates in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Clean the Bay Day, an event dedicated to protecting and preserving the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Park visitors are invited to join a clean-up to help remove litter, debris and pollution from rivers, streams and shorelines that feed into the Bay, contributing to the health of the Bay’s ecosystem and ensuring cleaner water and safer habitats for wildlife.
