There is plenty of parking along the street.
Volunteers will need to wear boots or solid shoes, wear long plants and long sleeve shirts due to thorny plants in the area. Also, bring work gloves and water.

Removing trash from the river is a wet foot activity. We need a certain number of volunteers willing to get wet and get into the river!
