SUMMARY:Oxon Cove Clean Up (Paddling OPTIONAL!) - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
DESCRIPTION:Join Potomac Riverkeeper Network on August 7th at Oxon Cove to help chip away at the decades of legacy trash that have washed up on the shore. \n\n\n\nA great amount of trash flows into Oxon Cove from the rest of the Potomac Watershed\, and one of our long term goals is to work to mitigate the flow of trash from Oxon Run into the Potomac. Come out\, bring a friend\, and spend spend a couple of hours cleaning up with us! \n\n\n\nAs part of our brand new Trash Free Boat Brigade\, we will have volunteers in their personal kayaks cleaning from on the water ahead of the land-based portion of the cleanup\, and others along the water in waders and heavy boots. For those on foot – it should be noted that there is about a mile hike down to the cove. Boots\, long pants\, water bottles\, sunscreen\, bug repellant\, and tetanus shots are strongly encouraged. Hip waders are a plus! \n\n\n\nWe will provide grabbers\, gloves\, hand sanitizer\, trash bags and information about the Potomac River. A larger PRKN boat will be at the cove with safety supplies and a hydration station. \n\n\n\nWe are happy to partner with Ward 8 Woods on this event\, and members of their team will be joining us the day of.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNote: All parties interested in being part of the kayaking component of the event – please reach out to Bill Szymanski\, captain of the Boat Brigade\, at billszy@gmail.com\, as logistics will differ slightly. Kayakers will be required to bring their own boat to the event\, and have modified parking instructions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOCATIONOxon Cove Park & Oxon Hill Farm6411 Oxon Hill Road\, Oxon Hill\, MD 20745 \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE
