River Calder – Paddle Cleanup!

When we paddle, we all too often see the effects of plastic waste strewn in the trees and river banks. We are in a unique position as paddlers, as we can collect plastic from places others are unable to access.

Join us this Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend where we will be cleaning up a stretch of the River Calder in Horbury.

We will prepare a range of craft (canoe’s, paddleboards and kayaks) to help comb the river of debris and rubbish along the banks. Paddling with us will be free, so why not come along for a couple of hours and have some fun on the water and help clean up our local environment!

A Safety briefing will be provided by qualified coaches, All Equipment and PPE for collecting rubbish will be provided and all equipment and safety wear for staying safe ion the water will be provided.
