2025 GWCU Eugene: UO North Campus & Whilamut Natural Area (On Land Cleanup)

On October 4th, volunteers across Oregon will unite for the Great Willamette Cleanup, with sites stretching from the river’s headwaters to its confluence with the Columbia. Pick the spot closest to your heart and Get Dirty for Good alongside neighbors, families, and fellow river lovers. Every bag of trash collected and every shoreline restored adds to a healthier, more resilient Willamette River.

Grab your walking shoes and get dirty for good! Afterwards, please join us for a volunteer appreciation party at Alton Baker Park (Eugene) at 1:30pm in the main event shelter.


WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 10AM - 1PM

Please meet at the SOUTH CIRCLE of the Frohnmayer (Autzen) Footbridge (accessed through the North Campus gardens and millrace area).


DETAILS: Please be on time! We will disperse in teams to different sites after a safety briefing at 10AM. Please dress for the weather, bring water, sunglasses, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. Willamette Riverkeeper will provide trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers.
