May 15-18, 2026 — Little L Ranch, Somervell County, Texas
Welcome to the registration page for the 9th annual Brazos River Cleanup and Campout, May 15-18, 2026. This event is presented by the Rio Brazos Chapter of the Texas Master NaturalistTM Program and the Little L Ranch on the Brazos River in Somervell and Bosque Counties, Texas.
There will be four days of opportunities for volunteering and learning while removing tires and trash from our chapter’s namesake, the Brazos River. Participants may choose one, some, or all four days to join in the cleanup and support services (service time), learning (Advanced Training), camping, and camaraderie. Maneuvering a canoe is optional, as there will be other service activities that qualify for Master Naturalist volunteer time. Past service activities and Advanced Training include star parties, moth-ing, bio-blitzes, geology, stream ecology, ornithology, wildlife, and more.
Registration is required for planning purposes. Filling out your registration completely helps ensure adequate support services, including campsite preparation; portable toilets and supplies; safety measures; canoe/kayak shuttles; food services and supplies; and more. Please note that that participation in this year’s event is limited to 125 Texas Master Naturalists, their guests, partner organizations, and other natural resource organizations.
