CFRW is excited to partner with the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher for our monthly second Saturday cleanup. The cleanup will take place on May 13th from 9am-11am. We will be focusing our efforts on the Burnt Mill Creek Watershed by cleaning up McCombers Branch. This cleanup will be both aquatic and land based. If you have a kayak or are interested in using one of CFRW’s kayaks, after registering please email Rob at rob@cfrw.us. If you are interested in the land cleanup portion we recommend waterproof boots if you have them as a lot of the litter in the branch is only accessible via crossing the branch. We will have two separate meeting locations for this cleanup. Kayak volunteers please meet at: N 11th St, Wilmington, NC 28401. If you are doing the land based portion of the cleanup please meet at the intersection of N 13th St and Rankin St (34.241323, -77.933354). At either location look for the CFRW/NCAFF cleanup signs!  We will provide pickers, bags, safety vests, gloves, and a good time. Yellow Truck Coffee Co. will be providing free coffee to cleanup volunteers and we will have Wake N Bake Donuts as well! Remember to dress appropriately (pants recommended) and bring sunscreen and water. We hope to see you there!
