River Cleanup by Charles V. Ware Appomattox River Richmond Bland College and the City of Petersburg are sponsoring a cleanup along the Appomattox Virginia Scenic River section within the city on Saturday, April 7, 2001. Coastals and other boaters are invited to join this effort. Cleanup participants last year got a t-shirt and donuts. Meet at Reedy Creek.
Boaters can run the upper section, the lower section, or both.
This project is sponsored by the James River Association and the James River Parks of the City of Richmond. Many participants will work on dry land along the river. Cleanup participants who register in advance get lunch. Last year, they got a t-shirt also. However, anyone should feel free to show up to help out, although if you don t advance register, lunch is not guaranteed.
