The Open Space Council for the St. Louis Region, a local
nonprofit land and water conservation organization, is hosting Operation Clean
Stream(OCS). Volunteers are wanted to participate in one of the
largest and longest ongoing river clean-ups in America and is scheduled
for Saturday, August 23rd and Sunday, August 24th 2014. There are various sites

help restore the Meramec River Watershed. Major sites include: Greentree
Park in Kirkwood, George Winter Park in Fenton, Route 66 State Park, Meramec
State Park, and Arnold City Park and the event will begin at approximately
9a.m. and run until 1p.m.

years of age must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
