We're concluding Big Sweep with a private boaters' clean-up of Ellerbe Creek from Red Mill Road down to the trestle. The principal focus of this event is a large trash island at the trestle, which we want to tackle before it gets swept in to the lake.
Bring your own canoes, kayaks, rafts etc. Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) required for all boaters. Volunteers will meet at the put-in on Red Mill Road at 9AM and paddle down to the trestle. Assistance with put in and take out will be available. We'll need to move a fair bit of floating timber to access the trash so if you have a canoe, consider bringing a rake or similar for reaching with.
Gloves, bags and grabbers provided, bring your own drinks, snacks and bug spray. Consider layers if the weather is cool.
