Join us at Round Valley Reservoir on National CleanUp Day, Saturday September 20th at 10:00AM for an annual clean up. Check in will begin at 9:00AM.

Round Valley Reservoir sees thousands of visitors every year. People come to fish, swim, hike, camp, boat, as well as scuba and snorkel. Unfortunately, some leave behind traces of their visit.

Debris recovered from the reservoir consists of fishing lines and baits, fishing poles, plastic containers, glass bottles, cans, anchors, yes even motors are left behind sometimes.

Since 2019, our dive team and volunteers removed 2500lbs + of debris from the reservoir and we know there is still more to be removed.
Help keep this wonderful natural environment, which is loaded with life such as bass, catfish, pickerel, eels, crayfish, and even turtles clean by helping us, and get a dive or two in as well!

Not a diver, we still need your help. We will welcome support from boaters, kayakers and even those that just prefer to stay on land.

We will have giveaways and prizes as well.

Pre-registration for this event is required. RSVP and [CLICK HERE TO REGISTER](https://www.waiverfile.com/b/scubaconnection/PartySelect.aspx?catid=f0ba2056-a17d-4675-9c62-c1db8859e657)

Pollution and environmental issues impacting our planet are dominating headlines in the news and on social media! Therefore, it's easy to ask, “Is it too late to make a difference?”
We are proof that is never to late!

It's amazing to see how our dedicated efforts in preserving the precious ecosystem at the Round Valley Reservoir are paying off.
As our cleanups have progressed, we witnessed an explosion of life beneath the surface! The once struggling aquatic ecosystem is now flourishing with an abundance of fish and vibrant vegetation.
Not too long ago, the bottom of the reservoir was littered with trash, but today, it's pristine and clean! Our collective efforts have made a tangible difference, allowing nature to bounce back so beautifully.

Join in the effort and see for yourself.
