Restored urban creek at golden hour

A Green Earth Initiative

One Branch. One Block. One World.

What began at Willie's Branch of Little Walnut Creek is becoming a worldwide model for restoring neglected places through preparation, partnership, and community action. Built to serve local cleanup teams, watershed stewards, schools, churches, partners, and future global chapters.

Where the work happens

From one creek to every neighborhood

Clean It Up! is a model that scales — anywhere there is a forgotten place and someone willing to begin.

Creeks & Streams

Living waterways restored, one branch at a time.

Parks & Trails

Public spaces cared for by their neighbors.

Streets & Alleys

Block-level pride and shared responsibility.

Schools & Churches

Service days that teach and unite.

Neighborhoods

Micro-cleanups that build long-term stewardship.

Global Chapters

A replicable model anywhere a branch is forgotten.

Pilot Project

Willie's Branch of Little Walnut Creek

A small urban branch in Austin, Texas where five shopping carts and years of debris revealed what happens when a place is left unseen. We are building the repeatable model here — preparation, partnership, documentation, and follow-through.

A call to begin

The world does not get cleaner by accident.

Someone has to notice. Someone has to prepare. Someone has to begin.
