This is a land-based clean-up. Please wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, and bring a water bottle.
Appropriate dress and shoe wear are required. Cleanups usually occur in brushy, thorny, and muddy terrain which require full body protection. Closed-toed, sturdy shoes that can get wet and dirty should be worn for land-based cleanups. Water shoes are appropriate in kayaks only. Bare feet are never permitted. Hats, sunscreen, insect repellent and a reusable water bottle are recommended.
Equipment and supplies provided at the cleanup:
Trash bags
Work gloves
Grabbers (limited supply available)
Cleanups are led by highly trained volunteers and staff of Lynnhaven River NOW. Directions and safety information are provided at the beginning of each cleanup event. A first aid kit is always available for minor medical needs. Any unique medical situations should be discussed with the cleanup leader before going into the field.
If dangerous weather cancels or postpones a cleanup, registeredparticipants will receive an email by 8 a.m. the day of the cleanup.
Results of Lynnhaven River NOW's cleanup efforts are available here.
This program is possible thanks to LRN's dedicated Stewardship & Access Committee Volunteers.
