Thames River Cleanup Wraps Up 2025 

On April 5th and 6th, the Thames River Cleanup held its 26th annual Earth Day cleanup. Over a thousand volunteers from across the watershed pitched in to clear tonnes of garbage and litter from along rivers, creeks, and green spaces. Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) Partnership staff lead cleanups with the Friends of Medway Creek, Friends of Stoney Creek groups, and a volunteer group at Fanshawe Conservation Area.  

The Thames River Cleanup thanks all of its sponsors with special mention going to Mountain Equipment Company who put together over a thousand cleanup kits for volunteers and organized the distribution of supplies to site coordinators.
