After Earth Day

On April 30th, we will have our annual rite of Spring, the BIG Little River Paddle Race at Reed Bingham State Park. While not an Earth Day event per se, it is one of our fun fundraisers.

Finally, on May 7th, we will be paddling from Langdale Park to Sugar Creek, with lunch at the Salty Snapper, getting trash out of the Withlacoochee.

We will also be having on-land cleanups that same day, in conjunction with the City of Valdosta. We and the City are still working out all the details and sites. Announcement forthcoming.
