Sturdy shoes or boots, gloves, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts are recommended. Hip or chest waders are useful but are not required. Trash bags will be provided and at least the first 250 volunteers will receive a free shirt or other gifts as a thank you for helping to clean-up our community’s beautiful river and streams!
