Dragoon River Romp

The Dragoon River Romp will be on Saturday, September 18, 2010.  This is an annual  Des Moines River watershed clean-up in Boone County.

The Dragoon River Romp is a volunteer effort to clean up the environment and learn about our natural resources.

Goals

The goal of the Dragoon River Romp event is to develop and implement a successful river cleanup program with the ability to attract other entities, recruit volunteers, and provide environmental and historical education to participants and the community.

The Dragoon River Romp reinforces each individual’s commitment to protect the environment, raises awareness of proper waste disposal and watershed protection, and provides educational opportunities for participants and the public. Litter prevention is a difficult challenge faced by all of us. 

 

While results in the way of tonnages removed from the river and it’s banks is tracked and its impact is seen, the true story of our results comes from the participants themselves.  

 

“Apart from enjoying the day on the river, seeing another side of the County, and the camaraderie of the cleanup, I will continue to preach the message.”
