We Hit the 9 Million Mark!

Lend a Hand and Clean the Land!
This Volunteer Week, take the Clean Earth Challenge and make the planet a healthier place! As a partnership between the National Wildlife Federation and Johnson Outdoors, the Clean Earth Challenge is making a difference in communities across America.
Since 2022, volunteers from coast to coast have collected over 9 million pieces of trash that litter our beautiful land, oceans, and waterways.
Go solo or with a group—it’s simple and easy to do. Pick up trash on your morning walk, at a favorite beach or local park. From small towns to big cities, collective action leads to big results. Every piece you collect counts.
Let’s all lend a hand this Volunteer Week and beyond to help save the planet!
