SUMMARY:September Second Saturday Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Cape Fear River Watch is excited to partner with Keep New Hanover Beautiful for our Second Saturday Cleanup on September 10th! The cleanup will take place in a section that drains directly into the Cape Fear River\, drainage ditches that run parallel with Front St. at the intersection of Greenfield St. We have had a lot of rain recently which has deposited trash in this area. The cleanup will take place from 9:00am-11:00am. Parking is available at 110 Greenfield St. Just look for the CFRW cleanup signs! CFRW will provide pickers\, bags\, gloves\, and safety vests. As always remember to dress appropriately and bring water. We hope to see you out there! \nPlease register beforehand here!

SUMMARY:Third Saturday Paddle: Northeast Cape Fear River
DESCRIPTION:Join the CFRW paddlers as we explore the Northeast Cape Fear River between Sawpit Landing (off White Stocking Road) and the Shaw Highway Wildlife ramp. This is a great section of river with a textbook example of an oxbow lake\, several nice coves\, and a few creeks to poke our heads into. The trip is 5-6 miles depending on how much exploring you do (and how straight you can paddle).\n\nLearn more and register here.

SUMMARY:September Bonus Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:We have a special project we are working on for the next couple of months. There is a location in the Smith Creek Watershed that is in dire need of cleaning up. We approximate 5\,000 – 6\,000lbs of litter in this location. Because of the large amount of trash and debris\, we anticipate that this will take 3 cleanups\, with the first being held on Saturday\, August 20th from 9-11am. This is going to be a joint effort project with multiple groups involved. The area was previously inhabited by some unhoused folks so special conditions apply to this cleanup. We will list those below. Also if you choose to help with this cleanup you MUST call/text/email Rob Clark\, our Water Quality Programs Manager\, before the cleanup. He would like to discuss some things that will make this cleanup unique. He can be reached at 910-409-2186 or rob@cfrw.us. Please reach out to him Monday-Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm. With the amount of litter in this area we will also be asking people to bring certain items if they have the means of doing so. These items will also be listed below. We know it is a lot to ask for our volunteers to do back-to-back cleanups\, but this is an opportunity to remove a large amount of litter from the Smith Creek Watershed and almost double the amount of trash we have already collected this year! As always CFRW will provide pickers\, bags\, gloves\, and safety vests. Please don’t forget to check the lists below and prepare accordingly. We look forward to seeing you all out there. \n  \nCleanup Requirements \n-Cleanup participants must be 18 or up. \n-Close toed shoes are required. \n-Must call Rob at 910-409-2186 prior to cleanup to discuss cleanup. \n  \nItems Needed For Cleanup \n-Truck and Trailer (to haul trash) \n-Wheelbarrow’s \n-Cut resistant gloves (if you have them) \n-Shovels \n-Bugspray

SUMMARY:Chemours Wants to Expand!?! Show up at Bladen Community College to voice your opposition!
DESCRIPTION:Chemours has been running ads trying to convince us that they’re ‘Good Neighbors.’ We think that contaminating the drinking water for 510\,000 people (and counting) is not neighborly. The neighborly thing to do would be to shut the plant down. BUT\, we have found out that Chemours is planning the opposite. \nThey’re planning to EXPAND manufacturing at the Fayetteville Works site.  \nThe consent order (put in place after we sued them) requires they hold TWO public meetings on this – one for impacted communities near the facility and one near impacted downstream communities. \nThe meeting for impacted communities near the facility will be held at Bladen Community College on Tuesday\, September 20\, 2022\, from 5 pm – 7 pm. \nChemours Plant Manager Dawn Hughes said\, “We’re proud of the role we play… and we’re eager to explain the plans for our future with our neighbors.” \nThese are “open houses” and Hughes stated in an announcement that they “…plan to communicate [how these expansions] will make a positive impact across our community.” \nThey will not be providing an opportunity for public comment. \nCFRW wants to shift that agenda.  \nWill you commit to showing up at Bladen Community College\, September 20\, 5-7 pm?  \nSign up today to get upcoming emails providing more details on this event. \nIf you are interested in attending the meeting for impacted downstream communities\, held at the Leland Cultural Arts Center on Wednesday\, September 21st from 5-7pm\, click here.
