Become a DRBA Streamkeeper to help maintain Virginia's First Trash Trout - In-Person Training

Special Opportunity!
Become a DRBA Streamkeeper volunteer and help maintain Virginia's first Trash Trout! A Trash Trout is a litter collection trap that is placed in a waterway to capture stormwater litter and keep it from polluting downstream neighbors.

DRBA is excited to partner with @Asheville Greenworks to install a Trash Trout in Jones Creek in Martinsville near the Virginia Avenue Trailhead of the Dick & Willie Trail.

To become a DRBA Streamkeeper, anyone interested in volunteering will need to attend two trainings - one virtual and one in-person next week. The virtual training is on Monday, November 16th from 6 - 8 PM on Zoom. The second training is in-person on Tuesday, November 17th from 10 AM to 2 PM at Jones Creek in Martinsville.

For more information and to sign up for the trainings, volunteers will need to follow the links below to use POINT - a volunteer management app.
