Of  COVID Times necessity,  this year’s Canal Clean-Up will focus on individual and family group efforts.  The official date of Clean-Up Day is Saturday, April 10, but, taking into consideration the unusual circumstances, volunteers will be encouraged to give the Canal its spring cleaning anytime during the month of April.  

Here’s how to help the Canal this spring —

On Saturday, April 10, go out to any section of the Canal and pick up trash, debris, and anything that doesn’t allow the Canal to look its best.   Both on-land and by-boat clean-ups are welcome.  In fact, using canoes or kayaks is sometimes the only way to get to trash on the berm side of the Canal or hiding just below the water surface.

If you can’t be out on the 10th, please work anytime the weather and your energy encourage you to do so.

For the safety of all, volunteers must comply with CDC, State and local COVID 19 precautions, including, but not limited to wearing a face mask, practicing social distancing, and following proper hygiene protocols.  (Handwashing is and was always a good idea on Clean-Up Day.)
