The Schuylkill Scrub is a watershed-wide clean-up initiative that takes place from March 1st through May 31st every spring.
about
The Schuylkill Action Network coordinates the initiative, but gives credit to the many partners with the common goal to clean as many miles of road, stream, and parkland in the Schuylkill watershed. Their efforts will help prevent trash from making its way into our drinking water sources and keep our land and waters clean, litter-free, and beautiful.
The Schuylkill Scrub is a part of the Pick Up Pennsylvania initiative, working towards the larger goal of cleaning up and beautifying the entire state of Pennsylvania through our partner, Keep PA Beautiful.
