Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control | News | Date Posted: Thursday, March 6, 2025
Volunteers are invited to join Delaware’s month-long Earth Day celebration in April by helping clean up 13 sites throughout New Castle County during the annual Christina River Watershed Cleanup. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 12. Registration is open through Thursday, April 10, with hundreds of volunteers expected to rally at sites from Brandywine Hundred south through Glasgow and Bear.
Sponsored by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, in partnership with the Christina Conservancy and the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE), the state’s second largest cleanup effort attracts about 750 volunteers each year, with only DNREC’s statewide Delaware Coastal Cleanup drawing greater participation. The cleanup’s message focuses on local waterways and educating northern Delawareans about the importance of clean rivers and streams that provide public drinking water, habitat for fish and wildlife, and generate recreational opportunities and tourism dollars.
