Chainsaw again upstream from Troupville towards Sugar Creek


Details
Join us as we try again to get the deadfalls revealed by lower water levels.
You do not have to saw. You can pick up trash, take pictures, or just paddle. You can also walk along the bank of the Withlacoochee River much of the way. If the water level is too low for boating, we will all be walking.
We expect any residual contamination from the recent Sugar Creek sewage spill will have washed away by then.
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.
Bring: the usual personal flotation device, boat, paddles, food, drinking water, warm clothes, and first aid kit.
Also trash pickers and trash bags: every WWALS outing is also a cleanup.
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.
Please follow Leave No Trace principles by packing out all trash, avoiding damage to vegetation, and respecting wildlife.
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!
