Every April, Keep Loudoun Beautiful and the Lovettsville Boy Scout Troop 962 conduct stream clean-ups to help keep Catoctin Creek scenic. Catoctin Creek is a picturesque and valuable water resource to the community and the county. With your help, we are expanding the clean-up activities to increase community-wide awareness and celebrate our beautiful stream.
