More information:
- Bring water shoes (if you’re getting in the water), a hat, a water bottle(reusable), sunscreen, and bug repellent.
- Supplies already there will include water to refill your water bottle, a first aid kit, a cell phone (to take pictures and for a 911 call if needed), trash bags, gloves, and “grabbers”
- We’ll do introductions and briefly review the importance of keeping our watershed clean.
