Carmel/Fishers to host annual White River Cleanup at Conner Prairie
You can improve the water quality in the White River by helping to removing trash! The White River Cleanup will be held the morning of Saturday, August 27 at Conner Prairie. Volunteers must register online and make a $40 canoe or $20 kayak deposit. The deposit is fully refundable with confirmation of event attendance. When registering online, volunteers can select to launch on site for a short two-mile trip, or be shuttled up to the White River Canoe company for a longer five-mile trip that ends at Conner Prairie. Space is limited and walk-up registration is not available.
Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, expect to get muddy, and be ready to traverse hiking trail conditions. Trash bags and gloves will be provided. After cleaning the river, volunteers can celebrate their hard work by enjoying complementary, same-day general admission to Conner Prairie. Volunteers will have a special opportunity to cool down in the on-site swimming pond during the event. Concessions will be available for purchase and volunteers will receive a free White River Cleanup t-shirt while supplies last.
No personal watercraft should be brought to the event. Event details and registration instructions are at www.whiterivercleanup.org.
