Canal Clean-up Day 2026

Posted

 Saturday, April 11th, 9 AM - Noon

It's time for some spring cleaning on the Delaware Canal and Towpath! Our popular Canal Clean-up Day attracts an annual crowd of like-minded, community-oriented, and environmentally aware neighbors who appreciate the Delaware Canal and Towpath and want to contribute to its preservation and restoration. You can find the list of the Clean-up Day work areas on our website.
Sections in bold type are in need of the most help. Simply fill out our online form and we will put you in touch with the coordinator in that area.

Every year, we struggle to get volunteers in the Bristol and Falls Township areas.  This year is shaping up to be the same. The sections listed below are in most need of volunteers. 
 
  • Bristol Township – Green Lane to Edgely Avenue
  • Bristol Township – Edgely Avenue to Levittown Shopping Center
  • Falls Township – Levittown Shopping Center to Mill Creek Road
  • Falls Township – Mill Creek Road to Wheatsheaf Road   
  • Falls Township – Wheatsheaf Road to Tyburn Road
  • Falls Township – Tyburn Road to Conrail Tunnel 
  • Falls Twp/Morrisville – Conrail Tunnel  Conrail RR Tunnel to Bridge Street

There are also regions further up the canal that also need volunteers!
