Meramec River Cleanup
Earlier this week I was up at Maramec Spring for the opening of catch and keep trout season. Maramec is not the headwaters of the Meramec River (like the springs at Montauk, which are the headwaters of the Current River), but I dd go down and look at where the spings feed into the river and admired it’s beauty. There is some good trout fishing there, and lots of great fishing and other opportunities for outdoor fun on the Meramec, all the way down to where it flows into the Mississippi River.
However, the sprawl of human activity has definitely impacted the water quality of the river – agricultural runoff, illegal dumping, etc. So, fortunately, there are several organizations that make great efforts to remediate some of those impacts.
Join MDC and partners March 19 for an epic cleanup and festival in Meramec River Watershed
Missouri Stream Teams and Dome Life are organizing a large-scale cleanup event, followed by a festival with food and live music.
ROBERTSVILLE, Mo.—The Meramec River is an aquatic gem in the St. Louis region—a great river for floating, fishing, and recreation. Part of what makes a great river great is the watershed that surrounds it and feeds it.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), Missouri Stream Teams, and Dome Life invite the public to be part of an epic cleanup event to help make the Meramec and its watershed a better place, and to a festival after to celebrate the success.
The Dome Life Stream Team Mid-Meramec River Cleanup will take place Saturday, March 19 starting at 8 a.m. The public is invited to join in this effort that includes both land and water trash cleanups, and invasive plant removal projects along 26 miles of the Meramec River.
“This is an extraordinary opportunity for all of us to improve the Meramec watershed and its natural communities, and to make the area a better place to recreate, enjoy, and live in,” said MDC Resource Science Aid, Brian Waldrop.
Cleanups and invasive species removals will be held at the following locations. Participants can choose the one they prefer:
- Robertsville State Park and Access
- Don Robinson State Park
- Route 66 State Park and Access
- Catawissa Conservation Area
- Pacific Palisades Conservation Area and Access
- LaBarque Creek Conservation Area
- Hilda J. Young Conservation Area
- Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family Conservation Area
- Allenton Access
After participants are done with the cleanup, they can enjoy the festival taking place at Robertsville State Park that afternoon and evening. Visit educational and informational booths, enjoy nature programs and activities for all ages and abilities. There will be food trucks on site offering options for dinner from 3:30-7 p.m., guest speakers, and live local music performances from 7-10 p.m.
The Dome Life Stream Team Mid-Meramec River Cleanup event and festival are free. However, participants must register online at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/4os. See a list of camping facilities near the event, too.
Robertsville State Park is located of I-44 at 902 State Park Drive in Robertsville.
