| WHAT: Join Willamette Riverkeeper for a paddling cleanup effort at Ross Island. Bring your own boat, or save a seat in one of our canoes, followed by a Volunteer Thank You Party at 1:30PM in Portland! Location TBA. WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 8:30AM - 12:00PM Please meet at Willamette Park. We will unload boats and gear, and gather our fleet.
DETAILS: Please be on time! We will aim to get on the water by 8:30AM beginning with a safety briefing and clean up plan before heading out. Please dress for the weather and getting wet (no cotton!), bring water, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. Willamette Riverkeeper will provide trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers. PFDs are required and must be worn at all times on the river to participate in this event.
BYOB? Please be proficient paddling in moving water for this event and always be aware of high water currents.
