Please Note: These are in-water events. Volunteers must be comfortable in the water. Since some of our waders may leak, plan on getting wet and bring a change of clothes and socks! This is a moderately physically demanding project involving hiking, lifting and hammering and walking on uneven surfaces in the water. Together we can make a big impact on the banks of our rivers!
This event only suitable for volunteers for Ages 14+
