Renew the New and the New River Valley Regional Commission present ReNew the New 2020: Radford on Saturday, August 29, 2020 with two sessions at Dudley's Landing located within Bisset Park in Radford, VA.
Volunteer Sessions:
• 8:30 am
• 11:00 am
Volunteers will break off in small groups as folks arrive for cleaning the river banks and trails. This event will be BYOB (bring your own boat). If you want to clean from the river, it is recommended that you attend the morning time slot as the water levels will be lowered for easier trash pickup. Please note that water levels will begin to rise by afternoon.
Most clean-up will be along the shore and banks because the river flooding has left a lot of trash there this year.
This year, for the safety and health of our volunteers during COVID-19, we are scaling back a bit to follow recommended restrictions. All participants and volunteers must pre-register and sign up online.
All volunteers will receive a free t-shirt. Please make sure you fill out your size on signup.
To sign-up, visit: http://renewthenew.org/renew-radford/ and select the green button with the number of volunteers in the top right for either the 8:30 am or 11:00 am session.
Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes, bring gloves, sunscreen, water and bug repellent as needed.
Follow signs to parking and registration.
ReNew the New sponsors two annual river clean-ups. In the spring is “Ramps ‘n’ Roads” and in the fall, “Fall Into the New”. Citizens of all ages, from all areas of New River Valley, will be cleaning litter from our highways and byways, boat ramps, river and stream access points. This year you can register to join one of four clean up efforts: Giles, Radford, Montgomery or Floyd. Anyone interested in protecting and renewing the beautiful New River is welcome to join in.
Dudley's Landing is located at 375 Berkley Williams Drive in Radford, VA.
