2026 KWA Spring Cleanup
2026-03-21 09:00 - 11:00 (America/Chicago) | Midway Landing, 300 N Central Avenue, Kearney, NE
The KWA Spring Cleanup will be held on March 21, 2026, from 9 AM – 11 AM. Plan to meet at the Midway Landing parking lot and we will see if there are enough volunteers to cover additional areas besides the whitewater park. Cleanup efforts will target both the 2nd/Central Avenue area, and if possible the north creek bank near the north RV Park. If you can assist with these cleanup efforts, please dress to get dirty and bring gloves, waders, buckets, trash grabbers, etc. Trash bags will be provided. Rain date will be March 28. Contact Bruce Karnatz (308) 627-5268 if you have any questions.
