Let's Celebrate a fresh new year of rivers and paddling
What a mess 2020 was, right? We may not be out of the woods yet, but let's start 2021 by cleaning up something beautiful! Come out to the first of our Rio Grande Cleanup Series and enjoy some time by the Rio as you give back to the river that gives us life, beauty, and so much more.
We will be leading cleanup efforts from 12-2 pm on Saturday, January 2nd, based at both the Alameda Bridge West parking lot Google map (Alameda Bridge boundary and trash drop-off map) and the Rio Bravo Riverside Picnic Area Google Map (Rio Bravo boundary and trash drop-off map).
Please RSVP here so we can ensure social distancing and COVID-safe practices and bring enough supplies. Come wearing your jackets, hats, gloves, and masks and be ready to clean up our beautiful Rio! We will be primarily staying on shore, but if folks decide to paddle with their own supplies, crews, and shuttles, you are more than welcome to do so! River conditions are unlikely to be ideal for a float, and running the river for this event is at your own risk, but it's always a pleasure to be on the water, even in wintertime.
As you join us on-site, find us by the fenced entrances to the trail to get your supplies. We will share information about upcoming events, campaigns we are involved with, and other ways to plug in to show our lovely Rio Grande and other rivers in our watershed some love.
Can't wait to see you there! For more information, visit our website at www.adobewhitewater.org - see you at the Rio in 2021!
This event is organized by the Ådobe Whitewater Club with support from the New Mexico Paddler's Coalition and the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District.
