Bear Creek Clean-Ups

Bear Creek Stewardship Days

Organized by Bear Creek Stewards, Bear Creek Stewardship Day occurs biannually in the spring and fall and has been bringing Rogue Valley communities together for more than 20 years! This community-wide trash clean-up and riparian restoration event happens in April (for Earth Day) and September from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with check-in starting at 8:30 AM. Check-in locations from Central Point to Ashland are hosted by various organizations, businesses, and agencies.

Over 100 volunteers removed almost 5,000 pounds of trash and 700 square feet of Himalayan Blackberry, Yellow Star Thistle, and other invasive weeds during the September 2025 Bear Creek Stewardship Day event. Check out the full impact report here!

Join us to revitalize the Bear Creek Greenway from Central Point to Ashland. Participate in trash pick-up, invasive weeds pulling, planting, and other needed tasks to help beautify various points along the Bear Creek Greenway. These clean-ups focus on the Greenway, and not instream trash removal. If you come across biohazards, please take a picture and note the approximate location, and your check-in location host will remove the hazard(s). Thank you so much for your interest in Bear Creek Stewardship Day!
