D&R Canal Cleanup
Saturday May 5, 2007, 10 am - early afternoon
Turning Basin Park, Alexander Rd at the canal near Princeton, NJ
 
Rain or shine!
We'll assemble at 10 am, coordinate our efforts, and then celebrate our results with a picnic from 1-2 pm, right after the cleanup!  And at 1:30, Mercer Co. Wildlife Rehabilitation will bring some of their animals to teach us about the impact of pollution on wildlife.
 
 
     
  Target Area We'll focus on removing debris and invasive plants along the canal from Port Mercer (Quaker Bridge Rd.) to Harrison Street.    
     
  Provided Sponsors will provide garbage bags, disposable gloves, some grasping tools and some canoes and kayaks. Additional canoes may be rented from the Princeton Canoe Rental facility nearby, and others may walk alongside the boats.   
     
  What to bring Weather-appropriate gear, especially waterproof items. Boots or shoes  (with socks!) ready for mud. Rain gear if it looks like rain. Layered clothing for adjusting to temperature.
