Withlacoochee River Chainsaw Cleanup

Join us to continue clearing passage on the Withlacoochee River for kayaks, canoes, and jon boats, leaving plenty of wildlife habitat.
You can come photograph, pull limbs out of the way, pick up trash, or just paddle along. Or chainsaw, if you have one and you really know how to use it.
Boats: If there is enough water, we will be using the WWALS jon boat plus other saws, electric and gas. If you have a jon boat with outboard and can bring it, please do. If the water level remains low, we will be using a canoe.
For low water, tie a rope to the front of your boat for dragging across sandbars. 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.
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: you can pick up trash, or photograph, or just paddle along.
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!
Duration: 6 hours
Paddle: 2 miles, 5.5 hours.
