About
Join up with the locals of Grayson County to help clean up The Little River–a New River Tributary!
Contact Keith Andrews at [email protected] for more information on this Clean River Month Clean-up.
HOW TO PLAN FOR YOUR RIVER CLEAN-UP:
- PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) REQUIRED for your safety
- Sturdy gloves for picking up trash and debris
- Dress to get wet and dirty–you WILL get wet and dirty!
- Wear river-safe shoes, preferably with a closed toe–no flip-flops, please!
- Bring a kayak or canoe if you have them!
Bags will be provided to collect river trash at the Boat Launch site. All trash and debris will be weighed and then collected by our partners at Virginia DWR and Grayson County Public Works.
In the event of severe weather or poor river conditions, the clean-up will be cancelled. Please refer to the clean-up organizers to know if a clean-up is cancelled. Updates will also be posted here and on the Grayson County Tourism Facebook page the night before the clean-up.
Clean River Month in Grayson County is sponsored by: Grayson County Tourism & Economic Development; New River Wildlife & Conservation Club; New River Conservancy; Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources; Grayson Landcare; Preserve Grayson; The Goodwill Grange Hall; Grayson County Democrats.
Thank you for volunteering to be a New River Protector!
