Withlacoochee River Chainsaw Cleanup

Rescheduled due to fish kill.

We need volunteers with boats to pick up trash while a few people chainsaw some deadfalls.

We aim to collect the trashjams we didn’t have room for last time, and to chainsaw the remaining Withlacoochee River deadfalls between Sugar Creek and the Little River Confluence. Then we’ll paddle up the Little River to take out at Troupville Boat Ramp.
Unlike last time, we’re scheduling seven hours for the shuttle, for chainsawing and trash collecting, and for the four-mile paddle. With luck, nobody will get stuck this time.
All dependent on the weather, of course. Could be hurricane season finally by then, or could be plenty low to make this easy.
Take Out: Troupville Boat Ramp
Bring: the usual personal flotation device, boat, paddles, food, drinking water, warm clothes, and first aid kit. Especially drinking water.
Also gloves, trash pickers, nets, and trash bags: this is a cleanup. If you’ve got a small boat you can tow behind you as a trash barge, that would also be very useful. And a chainsaw if you have one and know how to use it. Sawzalls and handsaws are also useful for smaller branches.
Shuttle: 4.5 miles, 20 minutes.
