Join us for the Annual Cleanup on the Manistee River. The Kalkaska Conservation District has partnered with various organizations to host cleanup days on the Manistee River. Each year the District and partners will focus on sections of the river that are in the most need. 2018 cleanup days will focus on 22 river miles over 3 different days. Join us for one of the days!
