Notes

Dress for the weather and for getting dirty. Waterproof footwear is highly recommended. Cleanup instructions and safety equipment will be provided on the day of the event. Due to the proximity to water and the unpredictable nature of the trash we will be collecting, this cleanup is limited to individuals 14 years of age or older. Cleanup areas are off-trail and require walking through rough, uneven terrain. Do you have your own kayak and would you like to clean up areas we can't get to on foot? Bring it along and join in the efforts. The kayak launch will be open weather permitting.
