Each Tuesday* a Rivanna Conservation Alliance River Steward and volunteers will collect trash as we paddle along a popular stretch of the Rivanna River. You can complete your registration up to an hour before the start of the event each week.
This event will be held most weeks through August 2020. We will plan to launch at 6pm from the Rivanna River Company and wrap up by 8pm at Riverview Park.
This event has changed with low water levels in the River making the paddle to Riverview Park too difficult. We are now starting and ending at the Rivanna River Company, paddling upriver in the slow water to Darden Towe Park and back. No shuttling is needed.
You may rent a kayak from the Rivanna River Company ($19); this rental includes a kayak, PFD, and paddle.
RCA will provide trash bags, trash pickers, gloves, and hand sanitizer/wipes. Participants are advised to wear non-cotton clothing, closed-toed shoes, and bring water/snacks.
*Paddles are weather- and flow-dependent; register to receive the latest updates.
