The annual Tuck River Cleanup will commence on Saturday, April 15, inviting hundreds of volunteers to raft or walk 20 miles of the Tuckasegee River between Cullowhee and Whittier in search of litter.
The event will be based at the Western Carolina University Alumni Tower on campus, with registration held 9-11 a.m. Due to available gear, registration for those wishing to raft the river will be limited to 500 volunteers. Walkers can register 10-11 a.m.
The first 300 registrants will receive a free T-shirt upon their return, and supplies will be provided.
Rafters will be assigned to a raft and given a paddle, personal flotation device and trash bags. Participants must weigh at least 40 pounds and wear shoes that won’t come off in the water. Crocs and flip-flops are not allowed, nor are coolers, glass or alcohol.
For more information, contact coordinator Martin Jacurso at 828.227.8804. Pre-registration is not available.
