Join us at the Heinz Quay Launch on the Ohio River section of the Three Rivers Water Trail for a river-based Water Trail Care Thursday opportunity!

Volunteers will:

  • Launch from Heinz Quay and paddle downriver towards the West End Bridge
  • Volunteers will collect trash along the way, docking on the riverbanks where we can to get out and collect trash

Registration is limited to 12 participants total; if you have your own vessel (kayak or canoe), we encourage you to bring it. We have 12 available seats in the Friends fleet in a kayak or canoe for those that do not have their own. Previous paddling experience preferred but beginners are welcomed. If you are a beginner or have never paddled before, please email Ashley Martin at ashley@friendsoftheriverfront.org and we can discuss!

Please wear sturdy close-toed shoes, long pants, and layered sleeves to be removed. Monitor the forecast and dress for the weather, we will work through light to moderate rain. Bring a reusable water bottle, water refills will not be available. All other project supplies and equipment will be provided.

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email. An additional email will be sent the day prior to the workday with project details and what to expect; registration after 12:00 pm will not receive the details email.

Please reach out to Ashley Martin, Trail Stewardship Program Manager, with questions at ashley@friendsoftheriverfront.org.
