alleghenyrivercleanup/schedule.html It’s that time of the year again: the Allegheny River Cleanup is right around the corner. This year the work will occur on September 6th, 8th, 12th, and the 13th (see details below). And guess what, we have apparently done such a good job on the Allegheny Islands Wilderness islands (Buckaloons to Tidioute and points south) in years past, that that segment of the river is not on the list this year. We worked ourselves right out of a job! However, that doesn’t mean the help of FAW volunteers isn’t needed this year. If you can pitch in for a day or more on one of the other sections your help will be greatly appreciated. Please click the link below to see how you can get plugged in to this year’s doings. And remember that just because there isn’t a formal cleanup day for the Allegheny Islands Wilderness this year, that doesnt mean you can’t pick up litter on your own whenever you happen to be out there for a paddle if you’d like! Thank you! alleghenyrivercleanup/schedule.html Conewango Creek (Upper). Saturday, September 6, 2014. Meet at the Front Street Launch site @ 9:00am for registration and shuttle to Larimer Park in Russell, PA.. The Front St launch site is directly at the foot of Hackney Meadows St/Lane--the street sign is clearly marked, and it is directly to the right of Davies and Sons on North Conewango Ave. The street sign is new, large, and easily visible from Conewango Ave. And the business, Davies and Sons is a great landmark for those who prefer landmarks to find their way. The launch site is literally directly downhill from Davies and Sons on that street (Hackney Meadows). Look for signs pointing the way. Volunteers should plan for it to take 4 to 6 hours. Volunteers will be briefed about trash hot spots and other information at the launch site, before boarding their boats. If youd like to volunteer, but do not want to get on the water, shore helpers will be needed beginning at 11am until possibly as late as 5pm. Pre-registration for this trip is required.
