The Carmel Stormwater Department is partnering with the City of Noblesville for 31st annual White River Clean-Up from 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Sept. 14. This annual event brings volunteers together to help make an immediate, positive impact on the White River by removing trash from the water and its banks.
The event offers volunteers a unique opportunity to participate by canoeing on the river. Organizers ask that participants be comfortable paddling a canoe and navigating the river’s shoreline.
