Annapolis Blues Football Club helps clean local waterway during Project Clean Stream

Every year, thousands of volunteers join forces for the Alliance’s Project Clean Stream (PCS). Together, we pick up litter from local parks, neighborhoods, and waterways like streams and rivers. PCS is all about teamwork, so who better than the Annapolis Blues Football Club to help us clean up College Creek? Last month, 10 volunteers from the club helped us remove trash from sections of College Creek near Calvary United Methodist Church in Annapolis, Maryland. Take a look at some highlights from our cleanup with the Blues below!
