The Friends of the Black River is looking for volunteers to help with the group’s annual river cleanup. The cleanup will be held Saturday, Aug. 26. Volunteers are asked to meet at Al Young Park in Black River Falls at 8 a.m. to be assigned a section of the river. Al Young Park is located at the south end of South First Street.
Volunteers may choose to help by paddling the river or patrolling along the shoreline. Those wanting to paddle are asked to contact FBR President Steve Rake so enough canoes will be available. Volunteers wanting to use their own canoes are asked to let cleanup organizers know about the choice by contacting Rake at 715-284-2087 or emailing info_fbr@yahoo.com.
In appreciation for helping with the cleanup, volunteers will be provided a lunch at noon at Al Young Park.
Please RSVP to Rake by August 23 so organizers can get a count for the lunch. More information is also available by emailing info_fbr@yahoo.com.
