New Mexico BHA is supporting the Santa Fe Chapter of Ducks Unlimited for their Second Annual Peña Blanca cleanup on Saturday, March 13th! We will be picking up trash and debris along the Rio Grande along with members of the the NM Paddlers Coalition, Adobe Whitewater Club, NM River Guides Group, and American Canoe Association. All are welcome to join us for the cleanup including friends, family, children and pets. Staging will occur in the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District parking lot at Peña Blanca at 10AM. Directions to the site are below.
Trash bags, snacks and drinks will be provided. However, please bring your own water and extra snacks in case there is a shortage. Work clothes that can get dirty should be worn and it's advisable to wear a sturdy pair of work gloves. Water boots will keep your feet dry along the river bank but are not a must and for anyone that would like to cross to the island in the middle of the conservancy, you're welcome to bring your waders.
There will be some sweet Ducks Unlimited merchandise to be raffled off. You won't want to miss it! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
