Broughton Beach - Columbia Riverside Cleanup

Join SOLVE at Broughton Beach for our annual Beach & Riverside Cleanup, part of a statewide effort to protect Oregon’s waterways. The event kicks off with check-in, supply distribution, and a safety speech before volunteers head out to remove litter along the shoreline. All supplies will be provided—just bring weather-appropriate clothing and your enthusiasm. This is a great way to care for the Columbia River and enjoy time outdoors. Families and groups welcome!
