River Clean Up, 3rd June – River Calder (Horbury)

In 2022, an amazing 1,200 paddlers took part in a bid to clear their local waterways of junk and plastic pollution, while raising more public awareness of the issue.

The response was incredible. About 700 huge sacks were filled containing 2,123 single-use plastic bottles, 1,476 cans, 831 glass bottles and 3,296 food wrappers.

Last year alone, we removed nearly 50 sacks of rubbish from the river Calder near Horbury Junction. This year, we plan to do the same.

Book your ticket here!

We’ll also throw a free buffet style lunch for all volunteers, please register your interest below. If you have any dietary issues, please email ben@westyorkshirecanoeclub.com and we’ll try to accommodate you as best we can.

PPE (gloves, litter pickers and sanitiser) will be available.

We’ll have a variety of craft available to use on the day, From Kayaks, Canoes and Paddleboards – let us know what you’d like to use!
