Looking for Southern Cal Boaters
 

Friends of the LA River is holding our annual CleanUp on Saturday May
6th from 9am to 12n at 14 different sites from Tujunga to Long Beach.
There's also a Friday May 5th River School Day CleanUp at one site.
See http://www.folar.org/cleanup2006/index.html for lots of
information, including maps, sites, directions, etc.

There's plenty of trash in the river, but some of it is caught in trees
on sandbar islands that are difficult to reach by foot. What would be
fun (and perhaps even media-worthy) is to have a few 2-person
kayaks/canoes to shuttle volunteers to get trash on otherwise
unreachable islands.

The main sites where this would be useful are Taylor Yard
http://www.folar.org/cleanup2006/loc...aylorYard.html and A****er
Village http://www.folar.org/cleanup2006/loc...erVillage.html
- both are pleasant vegetated sites located near the intersection of
the 2 and 5 Freeways, just north of downtown LA.

I will try to arrange for use of 2-person boats. Any one who can
attend, bring a 2-person boat, and/or pilot a boat, please contact me -
see below for contact info.
