42,685 pounds of trash picked up in April 2021. 34,685 picked up by Wild Keeper + partners around the world. 8,000 pounds picked up at KNW hosted cleanups

Wild Keeper Ambassadors + The KNW Community — Wild Keepers and the rest of the KNW community showed up and got their hands dirty this Earth Month! We saw individuals pick up trash every day, organize group cleanups with their friends and community, pick up trash in the rain, snow, and sun, from the forests, to the deserts, to their own neighborhoods and city streets. This community is a force to be reckoned with! And we couldn’t be more proud By submitting the trash they picked up on the KNW Impact Form, Wild Keepers and more recorded picking up 34,685 pounds of trash together. THANK YOU.

Earth Month Cleanups — We hosted two Earth Month Cleanups around Phoenix, AZ! Both locations are infamous illegal dumpsites around the valley so there was no shortage of trash! Together we picked up 8,000 pounds of trash across both cleanups! Thank you to all the volunteers that came out and joined us at a cleanup this month! We love getting outside and making an impact with you!

Earth Month Partnerships — We teamed up some great brands and organizations this Earth Month to make even more of an impact together! CamelBak x Keep Nature Wild. We partnered with CamelBak to launch the Limited Edition CamelBak x Keep Nature Wild Earth Month Bottles! Each bottle came with a cleanup kit inside making this partnership the ultimate Earth Day duo — cutting out single use water bottles and setting you up with everything you need to do a DIY cleanup in your own community! The CamelBak team got outside and picked up trash, too! Picking up and recording a total of 237 pounds!

More Earth Month Partnerships + Donations — Biodegradable Trash Bags donated in April: 780. @proofeyewear. Our friends over at Proof Eyewear picked up 30 pounds of trash around their office in Idaho! They also distributed trash bags to all of their ambassadors. @_wildwomenrunning. KNW Community Manager, Bri, hosted a cleanup with the Wild Women Running community!
