Participants will be issued life vests and must read and sign a release form for themselves and children in their care. Volunteers who cannot swim or who do not feel “seaworthy” for other reasons will be assigned to clean the put-ins.
The Friends of the Rappahannock are also requesting pickups and other trucks to haul trash removed from the river. The trash will be taken to Rappahannock River Campground or to Clore Brothers Outfitters for subsequent removal to appropriate landfills.
These rivers are unique sanctuaries.
Most people who paddle or fish these 47 miles of river are awed by their pristine beauty. Despite that appearance, last year many truckloads of trash were removed by diligent volunteers searching the river bottom and banks. This annual effort will make a significant difference in how the river appears to humans who venture on to it and may have an even greater impact on the creatures who call it home.
It is a day of work - but it is also a day of play and a day of rewards. Join the Friends of the Rappahannock! Make new friends and catch a glimpse of some denizens of river and wilderness whose thanks can only be expressed by our knowledge that they are there.
