Join the Pearl Riverkeeper Clean Water Team!

The goal of Pearl Riverkeeper is continuous monitoring of  Pearl River watershed health and an important component of this is an active, engaged community.  Pearl Riverkeeper wants all of our residents and visitors to enjoy clean swimmable, fishable, drinkable water throughout our watershed.  YOU CAN HELP by joining our CLEAN WATER TEAM!
  • Choose your favorite section of the Pearl, Strong, or Bogue Chitto River or any of its creeks or tributaries.  
  • Sign up as a group, organization or individual to be responsible for visiting your chosen location at least 4 times a year and conducting a litter cleanup at least 2 times per year.  
  • Report your findings and cleanups using the free Water Reporter app.
