Annual Sugar River Clean Up

The Lake Winnetka Sugar River Improvement Association Inc. will hold its annual Sugar River cleanup in Albany, WI, on Saturday, May 22, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will meet at the Albany American Legion Hall, at 300 N. Water Street across from the Boat Ramp, near the Police/Fire Station. Our goal is to remove as much garbage as possible from the river and its banks. We also want to clear a path through fallen trees that totally block navigation of canoes and creates hazards. The type of work varies from walking the banks or riding in canoes and picking up trash, to cutting tree branches and handing them to people on shore. Equipment needed is canoes or small boats, chain saws, bow saws and waders. The association will provide trash bags, and local businesses will provide refreshments.
We will get organized at 9:00 a.m., and begin cleaning up at 10:00 a.m. or sooner, however, a representative will be on-premise at the Albany American Legion to direct those who want to come later. Our clean-up is registered with the American Rivers National River Cleanup. Scout groups can earn community service points by helping out. Due to the pandemic, there may be a few changes, but the river cleanup will happen.
