Thanks to all our volunteers!

Your efforts made the 22nd Annual White River Cleanup a great success. Despite the threatening weather and wet conditions, you came and made all the difference — plus you got a free event tee shirt provided by United Water, a delicious pizza lunch courtesy of Williams Creek Consulting, and a coupon card from Chipotle!

On behalf of all the White River Cleanup sponsors, we now invite you to look for yourselves among the day’s photos:

New program for young paddlers

canoes

FOWR has joined with the Hoosier Canoe Club to start a paddlesport organization for young people ages 14 to 20. Indiana has some great paddling rivers in addition to our White and we think kids will enjoy exploring them. And they will have the opportunity to participate in cleanups and River School.

We have gathered together some of the best kayak and canoe instructors in Central Indiana to help make it fun and safe. We plan to paddle at least once a month, and meet as needed for planning. Right now, we are actively recruiting more young people. Check the Venture Crew web page for more info, or contact FOWR board member Dan Valleskey at danpaddles@gmail.com.
