Community Paddle & Roadside Clean Ups
The Battenkill Conservancy hosts community paddles and river & roadside cleanups during the spring, summer and fall and invites all volunteers to participate in our “Give Back by Taking Out” River and Highway Clean Ups. We do an end of the season fall river clean up in September. Our roadside cleanup schedule has became more flexible over the past two years with an Earth Day clean up, community clean ups and a fall river cleanup. The community paddles and in-river clean ups take place at multiple locations along the the river depending on need and volunteer interest. The last weekend of September is our "Give Back by Taking Out" river clean up for Saturday, September 24, 2022 beginning at 10:00 AM. Get together a team to work with and contact us with a location you want to clean up. Additional details posted on events page and Facebook. Email bkc@battenkillconservancy.org with questions.
Our April Fly Fishing Tips and Clean Ups offer simple fly fishing tips to participants from Board Members and avid fly fishers who serve on our board. Pre-registration at bkc@battenkillconservancy.org is requested. Some basic equipment will be provided but participants with equipment are requested to bring it.
For our Roadside River Clean Ups we team up with the Town Highway Departments to clean up roadside areas. Our Earth Day State Line Rest Area Clean Up happens on Route 313 just north of the Village of Cambridge. The clean up begins at approximately 9:00 am with donuts and coffee provided. Safety vests and garbage bags are provided for volunteers to pick up garbage along a scenic stretch of Route 313. The clean up usually lasts just over an hour.
