Who We Are

Our Stats

OUR STATS

Since 1998, we’ve worked on 25 rivers in 21 states and, with the help of more than 120,000 volunteers, we’ve removed 12.9 million pounds of debris from U.S. waterways.

Program Statistics

  • Since 2011,  we’ve hosted 429 educational events with over 12,500 educators and students aboard our barge.

  • We are excited to announce that we gave away our one-millionth tree in May of 2016. We are still going strong and now working our way to 2 million! Our total trees distributed is over 1,780,045!

  • The project has expanded to cover all U.S. waterways and we currently have over 423.5 adopted river miles across our United States waterways.

  • Although our Invasive Species Removal (ISR) program has been an unofficial and ongoing project for LL&W for much longer, it officially kicked off in May of 2014. Since then, we’ve worked with over 2,000 volunteers to remove 118.2 acres of invasive species.

  • Since the GMRC officially started in 2010, we’ve hosted 135 sites with the help of over 10,600 volunteers to remove 649,121 pounds of debris.

  • We’ve worked with more than 2,300 students at our Alternative Spring Break (ASB) events through the years to remove over 1.5 million pounds of trash. The name says it all and it's an experience college students won't soon forget or regret!

  • We’ve hosted 1,291 river cleanups in 21 different states.
