Chainsaw upstream from Troupville, Withlacoochee River

Join us to get the deadfalls revealed by lower water levels. Yes, we’re still cleaning up after Hurricane Helene. You do not have to saw, there are lots of ways to help. You can pick up trash, take pictures, or just paddle. You can also walk along the bank of the river much of the way. If the water level is too low for boating, we will all be walking.
Boats: We will be using the WWALS jon boat with the 9.9hp outboard and the 24-inch Husqvarna Rancher chainsaw paid for by a grant from Wild Green Future, plus other saws, electric and gas. If you have a jon boat with outboard and can bring it, please do. Kayaks and canoes are welcome to paddle along.
Please follow Leave No Trace principles by packing out all trash, avoiding damage to vegetation, and respecting wildlife.
If you have a chainsaw and know how to use it, bring it along. Or a sawzall or handsaw, which is especially good for small underwater limbs. But you do not have to saw.
Safety: Be on time. If you miss the safety briefing, you cannot paddle with us. Each person in a boat, no matter how young or old, must wear a PFD.
Free: This outing is free to everyone, because it is a cleanup!
You can help with clean, swimmable, fishable, drinkable, water in the 10,000-square-mile Suwannee River Basin in Florida and Georgia by becoming a WWALS member today!
