Boise River Volunteers Inc
About Boise River Volunteers Inc
Boise River Volunteers keeps the Boise River clean and free from trash and other pollution, with a hands-on cleanup effort that shows up week after week during the summer. The group also removes large debris from the river channel as it flows through Boise, helping keep the river safer and easier to use for people in the Treasure Valley. If you care about the Boise River, this is the kind of local work that stays visible because it has to.
What sets Boise River Volunteers apart is how direct the work is. Members float the river three days a week throughout the summer, then take on the bigger debris that gets caught in the channel through Boise. It is local, practical river care, done where the mess actually is.
