Description:
Renew the New presents the 2023 Ramp N Roads on Saturday, March 25, 2023 meeting at Eastern Elementary/Middle School in Pembroke, VA.

Bring your friends and family and join in cleaning up our ramps and roads from litter and debris. Volunteers will be cleaning up litter from highways and byways, boat ramps, and river & stream access points. Please plan to be at Eastern Elementary before 8:30 AM for assignments. Be prepared to pick up litter off road in ditches and over the banks. Each volunteer will be assigned a team who will be led by Captain. These captains will lead the on-site clean up and will provide any needed safety instructions.

There will be no buses running this year. Each volunteer will take their own car or carpool and convoy to one of the planned cleanup areas. There you will be given gloves and bags to use.

Each volunteer is asked to return to Eastern Elementary at noon where they will receive pizza for a to-go lunch and a t-shirt.

This is a rain or shine event however pick up along roadways will be suspended during active rain if it happens.

ReNew The New is a volunteer organization committed to stewardship of the of the New River flowing through Southwest Virginia. Thirty Seven miles of the New River flow through Giles County, VA. Since 2007 our focus has been to keep it clean and healthy for generations to come.

The New River is the oldest river in North America. Some people think it is the oldest river in the world. There are seven kinds of fish in the New River that are not found anywhere else in the entire World. The New River, unlike almost all other rivers, flows South to North.

The ReNew the New sponsors two annual river clean-ups. In the spring is “Ramps ‘n’ Roads” and in the fall, “Fall Into the New”. Anyone interested in protecting and renewing the beautiful New River is welcome to join in.
