The Flathead Basin Commission and the Flathead Conservation District are sponsoring a cleanup event of all waters in Flathead County. The 2021 Flathead Waters Cleanup Event is a volunteer event to clean up trash in and around our waterbodies of Flathead County. Individuals or teams of volunteers will sign up to collect trash and clean up any river, lake, creek, or pond. When they register, volunteers can select their favorite area to clean up through an interactive mapping feature on the event website. The event will take place on Saturday, August 14th from 9AM – 3PM, with a celebratory shindig and prize giveaway hosted at Sacred Waters Brewing from 4PM – 7PM. Prizes from our sponsors--including a half-day guided flyfishing trip, an evening sailing cruise, jet ski rentals, and outdoor gear--will be given to the volunteers that collect the most trash, find the most unique item, or submit the best photo. To be eligible for prizes, all volunteers must register prior to the event by scanning the QR code below, visiting the event website, or by contacting Emilie Henry by phone at (406) 249-2241 or by email at ehenry@kalispell.com.
