Volunteer Today for New River Clean Up

Don’t Forget – Clean Up Saturday, September 10!

Volunteers are still needed for NCNR’s Annual New River Clean Up on Saturday, September 10. It’s fun on the New River with family and friends, all while bettering your New River community. Meet on Saturday, September 10, at 9:00 a.m. at participating canoe outfitters along the New River in Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany counties.

Want to participate? Contact Courtney Wait at Courtney@ncnr.org or 336-846-6267 to sign up and get more information. We’ll designate a clean up site! Be prepared to bring: Sunscreen water, snacks, shoes that stay on your feet (tevas, chacos, keens, old sneakers – no flip flops or crocs). Dress in clothes that WILL get dirty and wet. A change of clothes, ball cap and sunglasses are suggested but optional

We’re providing: Boats, paddles, life jackets, shuttle, gloves, trash bags and a post clean up cookout – BE SURE TO RSVP so we’re able to shuttle and feed you! We clean up the river bottom and its banks by boat; most canoes haul not only volunteers, but the trash you pick up along the way!

THANKS!
