POCATELLO — Join us Saturday for the annual Portneuf River Cleanup. The city of Pocatello is looking for volunteers to help clean up trash and debris from the banks and main channel of the Portneuf River. Come out and help support the Portneuf River Vision.

The cleanup will be from 10 a.m. to noon, and we will meet at the Pacific Recycling Trailhead (on North Main just off Kraft Road).

Volunteers are asked to bring:

— Work gloves (we will have extra).

Other helpful supplies:

— Handsaws (no power tools).

— Nets (we will have extra).

— Boots/waders/water shoes.

We'll clean from Raymond Park to Simplot, along the riverbank and in the stream.

Thanks to the efforts of our community volunteers, the Portneuf River is looking better each year.

If you have your own boat and would like to use it with the cleanup, contact stormwater@pocatello.us or 208-234-6519 ahead of time for directions on where to float.
