The 6th Annual Fall River Clean Up takes place Saturday, and the City of San Marcos and Texas State University are seeking volunteers.
The event takes place between 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. on Oct. 1 with the clean up covering the Upper San Marcos River Watershed. Amy Thomaides, City of San Marcos Community Enhancement Initiatives manager, said the event will return to normalcy after adaptations were made during the fall river clean ups amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The last two years we’ve been in COVID mode where we weren’t really in person and we were [advising] people to come in groups of 10 or less and picking up the supplies from us,” Thomaides said. “We’re going to go back to the way we used to do it and the way we did the spring river clean up, which is in person … It’s easier for us in person to actually make sure we’re getting and collecting from the whole upper watershed area.”
