WWALS President Sara Jay Jones said, “Get your song ready about
the Suwannee or another river, creek, spring, sink, swamp, or pond
in the Suwannee River Basin. We will open song submissions in the
Spring.”
Suwannee Riverkeeper John S. Quarterman said, “Your ticket or
sponsorship helps support everything WWALS does, from water quality
tests, paddle outings and swimming & boating lessons, to chainsaw
cleanups, and beyond to advocacy to stop trash at its sources,
strip mines, and pipelines. We work for water trails, solar power,
and Right to Clean Water, with growing engagement for youth and
marginalized communities.”
Organizing Committee member Arinda Kennedy said, “Maybe you’d
like to join the organizing committee!”
