That old canoe looks dry and lonely, sitting beside your house, hanging in the garage, or hidden away in the shed. If it's just there, getting older, please consider giving it a new life!

We are looking for donations of canoes/kayaks and paddle gear (especially life jackets) to help our volunteers as we remove trash and paddle obstructions from the Yahara River. If you have not been able to help on a clean-up, basically, we use Canoes and kayaks as trash barges to help carry out the junk we pull from the river.

We appreciate your consideration and support!

ALERT -

We are watching the storm and rain predictions carefully. If our area experiences heavy rain prior to our clean-up, we will not have volunteers work in the Yahara River.

If it is not actively storming during the 10-1 scheduled clean-up, we will work to clean and clear residential storm drains and river-adjacent park lands.
