No equipment? NO PROBLEM! This is a water-based cleanup, so you need a kayak or paddleboard to paddle the river with us. Our friends at No Snow Stand Up Paddleboards are donating equipment for veterans who don’t have their own, including 2 of their giant 4-person boards our team loves to take down the river! *You must reserve equipment through Natural Restorations in advance!*
This event is not open to anyone who is not a military veteran, it is part of a Veterans Grant we received from the U.S. Forest Service and is specifically for veterans.
Sign-in/Meet-up at Phon D: 7am | Head to Water Users: 7:30 am | Launch at Water Users: 8am | Get off the river at Phon D: 12:30-1pm | Lunch: once we weigh trash & get everyone up to the top where the shaded picnic tables are. We are getting Jimmy John’s for everyone.
