Join us once again for the 13th annual Ship Creek Cleanup!
Help preserve the cleanliness and beauty of Ship Creek, and get the banks ready for the 2025 salmon season.
Last year we removed roughly 1500 lbs of trash from the banks of Ship Creek!! Thank You to everyone that came out pitched in and to those who are coming out to make 2025 Spring Cleanup even bigger.
What to bring:
- Please dress in layers and dress warm; the temperature is often cooler along the creek.
- Bring rubber boots or waders.
- Wear gloves, such as latex or nitrile gloves.
- Wear an orange safety vest if cleaning roadways or intersections near the creek.
After the cleanup, volunteers are invited to gather for giveaways.
The Ship Creek Cleanup event is organized in conjunction with the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce Citywide Cleanup presented by Matson, and is part of The Bait Shack Community Events, a series of community fishing events in Anchorage.
We want to express our appreciation for our friends at Matson, our headline sponsor of the 2025 Bait Shack Community Events.
Many thanks to all of this year's sponsors, which in addition to Matson, include IMA Financial Group, Cadence General LLC, Bristol Bay Native Corporation, Double Shovel Cider Co., Alaska Sport Fishing Association, The Bridge Co., Alaska Discount Outfitters and Pautzke Bait Company.
This will be the first of two Ship Creek Cleanup events for the 2025 fishing season; a second cleanup event will be held after the fishing season wraps up in the fall.
Thank you!
Tight Lines and Fish On!
