The Roaring Fork Conservancy will be asking people to volunteer their time to clean up stretches of the river on their own between April 19-23 this year. (Kelsey Brunner/The Aspen Times) Diehard river lovers didn’t let the COVID-19 pandemic prevent them from picking up trash along the Fryingpan, Crystal and Roaring Fork last April. The Roaring Fork Conservancy is hoping for an even bigger turnout this year. The Basalt-based conservancy is hosting its Fryingpan and Beyond Cleanup on April 19-23. Volunteers are being asked to cleanup a stretch of river frontage during daylight hours on those days. The event started as a one-day, annual cleanup of the Fryingpan River between Basalt and Ruedi Reservoir. As it grew in popularity, it was expanded to including the Roaring Fork River through Basalt.
