Spring for Your River!
Springfield: Clearwater Park to
Aspen Street (WATER-based / BYOB)

WHAT: Join Willamette Riverkeeper and Willamette Kayak & Canoe Club to Spring For Your River with a paddling cleanup effort from Clearwater Park to Aspen Street boat ramp. This is a "bring your own boat" event - so if you know a friend with a tandem kayak, canoe, drift boat or raft, hop in with them! PFDs required!

WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, April 30th, 10:00am - 2:00pm meeting at Clearwater Park boat landing at 10AM - PLEASE BE SELF SHUTTLED AND READY TO LAUNCH!

DETAILS: Please be on time - we will run a shuttle for those in need first thing, followed by a safety briefing and clean up plan before heading out. Please dress for the weather (and the water!), bring water, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. Willamette Riverkeeper will provide trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers. PFDs are required and must be worn at all times on the river to participate in this event. You should be proficient paddling in Class II moving water for this river segment.

QUESTIONS? Reach out to event coordinator, Michelle Emmons at michelle@willametteriverkeeper.org.
