Fall with SOLVE is here, a time to dig in, give back, and care for the places that connect us. As the season changes and the air turns crisp, we turn our attention to restoring and protecting the places we’ve spent the summer exploring.
Whether you're back in school, hitting the trails, or staying close to home, there’s a project waiting for you. From clearing litter along school routes to restoring natural areas with fall plantings, your actions protect the places we all rely on.
We're proud to partner with community groups, nonprofits, businesses, and individuals who help make Fall with SOLVE possible, and keep the places we love vibrant, welcoming, and cared for through the changing seasons. Here are just a few of the partners powering our fall efforts.
SOLVE’s traveling cleanup and restoration series Green & Clean highlights community-loved parks and natural areas throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. In Vancouver, recurring events bring volunteers together to care for local spaces, and a new supply hub makes it easier for community members to organize their own cleanups and restoration projects year-round.

In partnership with Clackamas Water Environment Service, SOLVE brings communities together to care for the rivers, streams, and creeks we all depend on. The series wraps up September 16 at High Rocks Park, bringing another season of waterway cleanups to a close. Together, SOLVE and Clackamas Water Environment Services are helping keep our waterways clean and healthy for generations to come. Get involved at solve.org/waterway-series
Jasmine Gehring has been stewarding Sand Lake Recreation Area for years, leading cleanups each Spring & Fall with upwards of a hundred volunteers, many of whom are from the OHV, off-road and motorsports community. Her leadership has brought thousands of volunteers together to remove nearly 25,000 pounds of trash from the recreation area. Jasmine is leading another cleanup this fall as part of International Coastal Cleanup Day and SOLVE’s Beach & Riverside Cleanup.
