Eugene-Springfield River Guardians
Trashy Tuesday
Do you love clean water and healthy rivers?
Please join Willamette Riverkeeper and friends at the first River Guardians Trashy Tuesday of the year, on Tuesday, January 8, 2019. We'll be floating from Aspen and West D Boat Ramp in Springfield, to Alton Baker Park in Eugene, focusing on areas under bridges and the south bank between UO properties and EWEB on banks not accessible by foot.
PLEASE MEET AT 8:15AM (boaters) at the West D Boat Ramp to shuttle our vehicles to Alton Baker. Turn south off Martin Luther King / Centennial Blvd. on Aspen and follow the gravel road past the upper parking area to the boat ramp. Non-boaters are welcome to meet at West D Boat Ramp and follow us to Alton Baker, or just park at Alton Baker boat ramp by 8:30AM and we will come pick you up and shuttle you to the put-in. This means your car will be waiting for you at the take out.
All BYOB paddlers must be able to adequately paddle in class 2 moving water. NO BOAT? NO WORRIES - your RSVP will reserve a seat in a raft or driftboat. Because we will be working from the water, PFDs are REQUIRED, and can be provided by Willamette Riverkeeper as indicated in the registration.
BRING snacks, water and appropriate layers for the weather. Please wear closed-toe shoes, long sleeves and pants. Gloves, pickers, garbage bags, tools, tarps AND COFFEE will be provided. (Yay, coffee!)
