A river-sweep cleanup of the Tuckasegee starting at the new CJ Harris boat ramp in Dillsboro is set for Thursday, Sept. 22, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. A rain makeup date is Tuesday, Sept. 27, at the same times.

The vast majority of the work will need to take place from boats because of the dense stream-bank growth. There will be a couple of flat-bottomed boats available, but canoeists and people willing to wade the river’s edge are needed.  

Drinks, T-shirts, tote bags and trash bags will be provided; bring gloves and waders.
