This year’s Potomac River cleanup is set for Sunday, September 11th from 8:45 am to 2:00 pm, rain or shine. (There will be NO RAIN DATE).
Join us as we paddle down the Potomac River collecting tires and litter found along and in the water!
We will meet at Riverside on the Potomac (44337 Spinks Ferry Rd, Leesburg VA 20176). From there, our favorite outfitter, River & Trails, will bring us, and the canoes, by bus to the put-in point. From the put-in point, we will paddle down the Potomac River picking up litter. The trip will end back at Riverside on the Potomac where we will enjoy a pizza lunch.
The event fee is $30 per person. There will be 2 persons per canoe. The event fee includes the canoe,
paddle & safety vest, river guide, cleanup supplies, and a pizza lunch. The event fee helps us to defray the cost of putting together the event and to avoid “no-shows”.
Requirements:
-Must be at least 18 years old to participate.
-Wear clothing and sturdy footwear that are weather appropriate and can get wet and dirty. No
sandals, open-toed shoes, or bare feet. A change of clothes left in your car is recommended for
the end of the cleanup event.
-Bring a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, a towel, a hat, gloves, and rain gear for use while
afloat. If you bring a camera, cell phone, car keys, or other items needing protection, bring a
waterproof “dry” bag or container. **This will be a plastic water bottle-free event.**
– All participants need to download, complete, sign, and return the liability waiver form. NO EXCEPTIONS. Completed liability forms can either be scanned and sent to Jennifer Chu at chu-jennifer@outlook.com or brought with you on the day of the event. Any questions please email Jennifer, canoe event coordinator.
