FCVC’s Annual French Creek Cleanup is a chance for volunteers to help collect garbage, on land or in the water, throughout the watershed. Participants chose a location (public or FCVC’s properties) and clean up! Then trash is weighed in and collected at the Crawford County Fairgrounds, with a volunteer picnic to follow. Trash collection is from 11am to 3pm. Individuals, teams, schools, clubs, and organizations are entered into drawings for cash prizes. The schools with the most participants will win a cash prize for their science program.

In 2025, 225 volunteers collected more than 37,000 pounds of trash and planted 100 trees!
