Join the best freshwater cleanup crew in the Southeast on Saturday, Nov 18 for the Great Suwannee River Barrel Rodeo! We will be on the Suwannee from 8:30-3:30pm rounding up hurricane debris such as barrels, large styrofoam pieces, and derelict docks!

Our priority focus area will be the 30 mile stretch from Hart Springs down to Fowler's Bluff. Our Cleanup Fleet will be launching from Turner Boat Ramp at 8:30am but you can launch from any boat ramp along the Suwannee River! Kayaks and canoes are welcome to join us as well! Paddlers are encouraged to launch from Manatee Springs State Park.

We need Cleanup Captains to help our volunteers remove all the trash and debris from the Lower Suwannee River! Please send an email to savannah.currentproblems@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering as a Cleanup Captain!

All cleanup supplies will be provided on site including gloves, grabbers, nets, trash bags and more! Please bring LOTS of water, aquatic shoes or wading boots, sun-protection, extra layers, and be sure to pack snacks and a lunch! Let's wrangle some derelict docks y'all!

Together, we are preventing debris from reaching the Gulf of Mexico and impacting coastal communties and we are protecting the health of Floridan aquifer from becoming clogged with trash & debris. See you on the Suwannee!
