Required Gear:

Clothes you can get wet and dirty in, a sense of adventure and humor, and a bottle for water. If you have and want to use a kayak or canoe, bring that and a PFD for all boaters; we plan to have a "junk barge" on hand so your boat stays relatively clean.


RiverSweep


RiverSweep is an annual event. Fish for shopping carts or gather trash from shore: Do your part to keep Vermont's Black River clean!

You can help in Springfield, Ludlow, Plymouth, Cavendish or any other point on the Black River in Windsor County, Vermont. Work can be done from a kayak or canoe if you have one or from shore (watch for poison ivy!). Stay for an hour, or the whole morning! We'll provide trash bags, snacks, work gloves, a free lunch and a complimentary "thank you" tee shirt.
