Take2Miss

Join the Take2Miss social media campaign by picking up litter in your community.  The next time you are out jogging, walking, boating, biking, heading to work or school, just pick up 2 pieces of litter, snap a pic and post it to Instagram or Facebook using #Take2Miss. Clean communities and a clean watershed are everyone's responsibility!

Pearl River Clean Sweep

 Participate in the annual Pearl River Clean Sweep.  This event takes place yearly on the 3rd Saturday of September.   The next event will be Sept 21, 2019.  There are numerous cleanup locations from the headwaters of the Pearl River in Mississippi, downriver through Mississippi and Louisiana, and all the way to the Gulf Coast.  If you know of a Pearl River location that needs cleaning, please let us know.  Spread the word!

Litter Reduction Task Force

In April 2017, Keep the Rez Beautiful, working with Pearl River Valley Water Supply District and MS Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks, formed the Litter Reduction Task Force with the goal of combating the trash problem at the Ross Barnett Reservoir Spillway Dam.  This Spring alone, volunteers cleaned up up over 13,000 pieces of trash from the Spillway area.   This trash has detrimental Economic, Social, Health and Environmental effects on the Pearl River Watershed and Jackson's drinking water.  You can support the efforts of the Task Force by joining us for a cleanup or by writing your county Board of Supervisors about the importance of a clean watershed.
