Calling all Dedham businesses, we hope you will join Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) for this year's Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup!


Our cleanup brings together over 3,000 volunteers each year to pick up litter and prevent pollution to protect and restore the Charles River and its watershed.
