Pecos-to-Pecos Community River Clean-Up

Pecos-to-Pecos River Cleanup will honor Earth Day

In honor of Earth Day and Dia del Rio y Camino, river cleanups will occur at six locations from Pecos, New Mexico, to Pecos, Texas on April 22, 2023.

Cleanup events will happen in both of the Pecos towns, in Carlsbad and Roswell, and also in Villanueva State Park, according to the Town of Pecos.

“We invite everyone in the community to join us in this important initiative to keep our section of the Pecos River clean and beautiful for generations to come,” Town officials state in this report.

The Upper Pecos Watershed Association is organizing the event with support of the Pecos Business Association (PBA), Pecos Canyon State Park, Santa Fe National Forest, Truchas Chapter Trout Unlimited, New Mexico Economic Development Department, Keep Carlsbad Beautiful, San Miguel County, and the Town of Pecos City.
