The newly formed organization, “Pueblo Friends of the Arkansas River”, mission statement is to work to enhance and maintain the beauty, accessibility, and integrity of the Arkansas River corridor in Pueblo. The members of the organization include walkers, bicyclists, fisherman, rafters, artists, environmentalists, educators, runners and others. Anyone that uses and loves the Arkansas River corridor is invited to join.

The water is low and the trash has accumulated so it is time to start the cleanup of the Arkansas River corridor. Members of “Pueblo Friends of the Arkansas River” are coordinating a cleanup on Saturday, March 5 at 10 am to 12 pm. Come and help clean for an hour or longer. All ages are encouraged to help cleanup Pueblo’s greatest asset, The River. The cleanup will start by Main Street Bridge. Trash bags will be furnished but bring your own water in a reusable water bottle. We don’t need to create more trash. We will be cleaning the river’s edge and up towards the lake.
