| Event Basics: Join Willamette Riverkeeper and our incredible volunteers as we take to the water together to clean up Ross Island. Located just one mile upstream from downtown Portland, Ross Island is home to large numbers of nesting birds and provides critical habitat for migrating fish.
Removing rubbish from Ross Island supports healthy habitats and keeps trash from flowing downriver to the confluence with the Columbia River. We'll have support from our motorboat and safety paddlers to help volunteers access Ross Island and transport trash back to shore where we can dispose of it properly. Participants can register for a seat in one of our canoes or bring along their own paddlecraft.
After the cleanup, we hope that you'll join us for a volunteer appreciation party at 1:30pm in Portland (location TBD), featuring drinks, light food, and a free raffle for all volunteers. |
