Waterway Cleanup 10/12 | London Bridge Creek / Potters Rd

Save to Favorites

LRNow hosts monthly cleanups along our Virginia Beach waterways to remove marine debris, improve water quality, and keep our city’s waters healthy and safe.

Cleanups are led by highly trained volunteers and staff of Lynnhaven River NOW. Directions and safety information are provided at the beginning of each cleanup event. A first aid kit is always available for minor medical needs. Any unique medical situations should be discussed with the cleanup leader before going into the field.

Equipment and supplies provided at the cleanup include:

• Trash bags
• Work gloves
• Grabbers (limited supply available)

Kayakers must bring their own boat and gear unless otherwise arranged. PFDs are required.

Appropriate dress and shoe wear are required. Cleanups usually occur in brushy, thorny, and muddy terrain which require full body protection. Closed-toed, sturdy shoes that can get wet and dirty should be worn for land-based cleanups. Water shoes are appropriate in kayaks only. Hats, sunscreen, insect repellent and a reusable water bottle are recommended.

If dangerous weather cancels or postpones a cleanup, registered participants will receive an email by 8 a.m. the day of the cleanup.
