Guided by the Rivanna Conservation Alliance, volunteers will collect trash as we paddle along a popular 1.5-mile stretch of the Rivanna River. You can complete your registration up to the start of the event each week.
We will plan to launch at 6pm from the Rivanna River Company and wrap up by 8pm at Riverview Park. The paddle is self-supported. Volunteers will need to transport themselves and their boat to and from the starting and ending locations. Participants should plan their shuttle timing so that they are ready to launch at 6pm. The drive between RRC and Riverview Park is 5-10 minutes, and the Rivanna Trail walk is 20-30 minutes.
Trash bags, trash pickers, gloves, and hand sanitizer/wipes will be provided. 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.
