SUMMARY:May Second Saturday Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:CFRW will be partnering with Keep New Hanover Beautiful to host our monthly Second Saturday Cleanup on May 14th\, from 9-11am. We are going to focus our efforts on the Burnt Mill Creek Watershed by cleaning up the ditch off of Emerson St. The ditch is physically located on Emerson Street\, just south of Marlboro St. Park along Emerson St. in the gravel pull off areas. Look for the CFRW cleanup signs! We will provide pickers\, bags\, safety vests\, gloves\, and a good time. We will need some volunteers to clean up the interior of the ditch. So if you have your waiters or waterproof boots bring them! As always remember to dress appropriately\, bring sunscreen\, and water. We hope to see you out there! \nPlease register beforehand here.

If we cancel we will notify those who have signed up by email on Friday night or Saturday morning. \nWe have a limited number of boats available for rent for CFRW members ($15 per boat; includes PFD and paddle). If you would like to rent a boat please indicate such during your registration.

SUMMARY:April/May Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who attended the last meeting to discuss River-Horse: A Journey Across America by William Least Heat-Moon\, and a special thanks to member Fred Bingham for leading it! \nOur book selection for April/May 2022 is a deep dive into environmental history from the formation of the U.S. Constitution to the national tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and water wars out West titled\, The Source: How Rivers Made America and America Remade Its Rivers by Doyle Martin \n“America has more than 250\,000 rivers\, coursing over more than 3 million miles and serving as integral trade routes\, borders\, passageways\, sewers\, and sinks. Over the years\, based on our shifting needs and values\, we have harnessed their power with water-wheels and dams\, straightened them for ships\, drained them with irrigation canals\, set them on fire\, and even attempted to restore them. This environmental history tells the story of America and its rivers\, from the U.S. Constitution’s roots in interstate river navigation\, the origins of the Army Corps of Engineers\, the discovery of gold in 1848\, and the construction of the Hoover Dam and the TVA during the New Deal\, to the failure of the levees in Hurricane Katrina and the water wars in the west. Along the way\, it explores how rivers have often been the source of arguments at the heart of the American experiment―over federalism\, sovereignty and property rights\, taxation\, regulation\, conservation\, and development.” \nOur next meeting is scheduled for Saturday\, May 28\, 2022 at 10:30AM outside at Pomegranate Books (Weather Permitting). \nCFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount at Pomegranate Books (910) 452-1107.
