Creek Week would be nothing without the partner organizations that support these efforts with time, effort, and programming:

CMSWS is always looking for new ways to partner and celebrate our waterways. If your organization is interested in partnering next year. Please reach out to STW-Volunteers@MeckNC.gov by January 2027.

The Big Spring Clean takes place on the final day of Creek Week where hundreds of volunteers gather at sites around Mecklenburg County to remove as much litter from our creeks as we can! The Big Spring Clean 2026 will take place on March 28th 9 AM- 12 PM. See below to find a site available near you!
