Clean up trash in the Withlacoochee River from Franklinville Landing in hardwood floodplain for about a mile downstream, past Cat Creek.
This is mostly a walking cleanup.
If you want to bring a kayak or canoe, those could also be useful, although you’re probably going to be dragging them a bit.
We have the enthusiastic support of the landowner.
