Goose Creek Cleanup Presented by Boulder
ENOFF in Collaboration with the City of Boulder!
With deep gratitude, Boulder ENOFF would like to thank the City of Boulder and Boulder Parks & Recreation for welcoming us as the presenting organization for the Goose Creek Cleanup on July 11, 2026, and for creating such a meaningful opportunity to bring our community together in service of the land, water, wildlife, and the shared spaces we all depend on. 💚
We are especially thankful to the City of Boulder Parks & Recreation team, as well as the Safe and Managed Public Spaces (SAMPS) team, for supporting our volunteers, helping ensure safety along the creek, and making this community cleanup possible. Their partnership allowed Boulder ENOFF to connect our mission of environmental storytelling, community action, and care for the natural world with hands on stewardship. We are honored to be part of such a dedicated and caring community.
The turnout was incredible! More than 60 volunteers came together to care for Goose Creek, removing an astonishing 647 pounds of trash and recyclables from the creekside area. Among the debris recovered was even a television, a powerful reminder of the difference a committed community can make in just one morning.
A special thank you to Rayback Collective for hosting our volunteers and providing a welcoming space for gathering, conversation, and celebration after the cleanup. Their hospitality helped make the day not only productive, but joyful and community centered.
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the organizations and community partners who supported Boulder ENOFF and this cleanup, including our valued sponsors Ocean First Institute, Twig Hair Salon , Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, Mindful Works, Floral Bumblebee, Reef Healers, and REI. Your support helps make community stewardship events like this possible.
To everyone who volunteered, hauled trash, promoted the cleanup, shared our festival, supported our sponsors, or helped make the morning possible, thank you! Together, we restored a small but meaningful piece of Boulder's living landscape, and we are excited to carry that spirit forward into this year's Boulder Environmental / Nature / Outdoors Film Festival, taking place July 16 through July 19 at the Dairy Arts Center! We hope to see you there 🏔️🦈🐳✨🐘🌊🌼
