Bozeman Dog Poop Cleanup

As the snow melts and spring arrives in Bozeman, winter’s secrets are unveiled - piles upon piles of dog poop! While we love our furry friends and enjoy the privilege of letting our pups run free in our public spaces, we sometimes miss where our dogs do their duty. To do our part, the Gallatin Watershed Council, Gallatin Valley Land Trust, and Outside Kind have banded together to host the Bozeman Dog Poop Cleanup on Thursday, May 8, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Pet waste is not just an aesthetic issue; stormwater picks up dog poop and carries its pollutants into our waterways. We invite you to join us in scooping dog poop at our favorite trails and parks before the busy recreation season begins and spring showers wash harmful nutrients into our local rivers and streams. Children and well-behaved dogs are welcome!

This year’s sites include the Gallatin County Regional Park, Sourdough Canyon, Drinking Horse Trail/M Trail, Snowfill Park, and Peet’s Hill/Gallagator Trail.

Team leaders will pick up dog poop cleanup materials (scoopers, trash bags, buckets) for their team from the Gallatin Valley Land Trust office (212 S Wallace Ave #101, next to Oboz) the week of the event. Team members will meet up with their team leader at their chosen location and get to scoopin' at 4:00 p.m. You’ll receive a follow-up email with additional event information closer to the event date.

This year’s event will take place on Thursday, May 8, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. In case of snow, the event will be rescheduled to Tuesday, May 13, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Contact abigail@gallatinwatershedcouncil.org with any questions or site location suggestions!
