________________________________________________
ACCORDING TO THE JAMES RIVER ASSOCIATION WEBSITE:
ATTENTION:
EVENT POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER 22, 2016!
Tire-Less
James cleanup event will be postponed until October 22nd, due to rising river levels, increased turbidity, and predicted increased bacteria
levels.
We hope you will be able to join us on the
22nd!
________________________________________________
Please note that this is a special reminder about the annual river
cleanup event that is held in cooperation with the James River Association.
The following information comes from the JRBF
Chairman Andrew Shaw's recent email to the JRBF. We are sending this notice out in case you would also like to help get the tires out of the James
River.
Dear Friends,
There are five batteaux planning on making the trip,
and I am hopeful to see many more of you out in canoes and kayaks. Obviously the river is fairly low, so we are going to need plenty of folks in
smaller vessels to bring tires to the batteaux so that batteaux crew can focus on getting down the river.
The JRA is covering our camping at
Horseshoe Flats (for those people who have already pre-registered).
Batteaux should plan to shove off from Howardsville
at 8 AM. Both batteaux and canoeists should plan to gather at Goolsby's to help unload tires before navigating the falls.
I am excited about
the chance to drag boats over rocks, and maybe even get a few tires out of the river. I hope to see many of you Saturday, October 22, 2016!
-Andrew
