If you care about clean water and a clean community, Valley Pride Day Community Litter Clean Up has become the statement event for folks here in the valley and those from away who cherish the valley. It is the one time of the year where all the communities in the Saco Valley watershed, which includes the Ossipee River watershed, come together, and clear the litter before we are visited by many for the summer.

Valley Pride Day was started 21 years ago when Donna Woodward and a group of concerned citizens decided to take action to clean up the unsightly litter that accumulated along the roadways and rivers in the valley. The response was greater than Donna could imagine. Businesses in the valley donated funds. Towns in the valley collected the trash. Individuals of all ages came out to make a statement that we had pride in where we lived.
