Join your friends, neighbors, City officials, community groups and others, as they partner to remove waste and debris from some of the vital water ways in Harrisonville.
There is strength in numbers. Although an individual can accomplish a lot, when many individuals cooperate and work toward a common goal, such as protecting a watershed, the results of their efforts are multiplied and are more likely to be successful. Healthy water for drinking and personal use and for crucial habitat is a need we all share, and it is a goal we can all work together to achieve.
