Clean up: Join our clean stream team and help clean the confluence of two tributaries to the New River. We will be wading in the water.
.
Optional snorkeling: After cleaning the banks and the waters, we will be snorkeling to experience the awesome aquatic life of the New River Watershed. We will have the opportunity to clean up any micro-trash we otherwise missed. Snorkeling is a great way to view the fish and macroinvertebrates hiding under the rippling waters of our streams and rivers.
.
Tools/equipment: The New River Conservancy will supply tools and equipment (grabbers, gloves, trash bags) for the event. We have 10 snorkels & masks available for use.
.
You provide: your own wetsuit/kneepads for snorkeling, or brave the cool waters! Waders may be useful if you intend to wade in the creek, but are not necessary. Dress to get dirty! Bring a change of clothes for after snorkeling. Bring plenty of water and snacks (light snacks will be provided).
