Volunteer Clean Ups at Blue River Make a Difference

Over 120 volunteers have helped clean up litter and debris along the Blue River at Oka’ Yanahli Preserve in south-central Oklahoma. We had four amazing volunteer work days that have made a positive impact on the Blue River’s watershed. Thank you all the volunteers who invested their time, energy and hearts into cleaning up the Blue River!
