Ashley River Clean-up
9 July 2021
In addition to raising funds to replace the predator traps lost in the recent funds, the Ashley Rakahuri Rivercare Group invites people to join a river-clean-up from 9.30am, Sunday 25th July. The floods have swept a lot of rubbish into the river and we're organising teams to clean it up.
Volunteers must RSVP by following this link: https://forms.gle/kW2D4snUfK3CJ8Ui9
Volunteers will be organised by team leaders in 4WD vehicles with trailers. There will be skips in meeting areas for rubbish collection.
The terrain will be tough and overgrown so volunteers must be physically fit and eager to get a little rough and dirty!
Please bring your own thick gardening gloves, gumboots or sturdy tramping or work boots, water bottles and sensible clothes for the weather and terrain.
The meeting area is: Rest Area on the Northern Bank
of the Ashley River SH1 Bridge
The day: Arrive between 9.30am-9.45 for a Health and Safety Briefing. There has been some hazardous waste spotted around the river so please make sure to attend the briefing especially if you're bringing your children along.
Clean-up starts at 10am and will run until 1pm.
