The 23nd annual Great Kanawha River Cleanup, sponsored by
the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, is scheduled from 9
a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 8.
Cleanup sites along the Kanawha River will include the
beach at Winfield Locks; Roadside Park in St. Albans; Magic Island in
Charleston; and Kanawha Falls, near Glen Ferris.
Those wishing to volunteer are urged to register with the
DEP so enough supplies can be obtained for each cleanup location. The DEP’s
REAP program (Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan) will supply bags and
gloves for volunteers and will arrange for trash to be hauled away.
Last year, more than 100 volunteers collected 3.2 tons of
trash and debris as part of the cleanup.
For more information or to register to volunteer, contact
Travis Cooper at 304-926-0499 ext. 1117, or e-mail:
