The Clackamas County event calendar has many great opportunities for you to enjoy. Whether you are looking to give back, volunteer with like-minded individuals to help clean up our waterways or bring out the entire family to learn about climate resiliency and biodiversity — there’s an event for you! Clackamas Water Environment Services is committed to offering events that connect residents with community partners. Last year, the county’s work with environmental non-profit SOLVE saw 1,461 volunteers remove a total of 28,278 pounds of trash from waterways and natural areas. SOLVE cleanups mobilize and educate volunteers of all ages about the importance of protecting our shared environment and how we can build a legacy of stewardship. The Adopt-A-Road volunteer program is open for litter cleanup events Help maintain county roads by volunteering to clean up litter along a roadway near you. The county will help coordinate your event — removing bagged garbage, and supplying you with grapplers, safety vests, plastic bags, and roadside warning signs. To recognize community groups and individuals who clean at least one mile of road twice a year, the county will install a road sign in your honor.
