Join Friends of the Riverfront and Allegheny CleanWays along the Chartiers Creek tributary section of the Three Rivers Water Trail for a river-based Water Trail Care opportunity!
Volunteers will:
- Launch from Caliente Pizza in Crafton and paddle ~5 miles downstream along Chartiers Creek ending in Esplen
- Collect litter along the way, stopping on the riverbanks where we can
Registration is limited to 12 participants; if you have your own vessel (kayak or canoe), we encourage you to bring it. Participants that do not have their own will get a seat in the Friends fleet in either a kayak or canoe. The paddle will take between 3-3.5 hours to complete (~1.5 miles per hour). Previous paddling experience required. 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 that can be removed. Wear clothing and shoes you do not mind getting wet/dirty. Monitor the forecast and dress for the weather, we will work through light rain. Bring a reusable water bottle, water refills will 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 prior to the workday with meeting location, 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.
