SUMMARY:Live Staking Workday
DESCRIPTION:Live staking is a riverbank stabilization technique that uses dormant tree and shrub cuttings to help reduce sediment load in streams and rivers. This year\, RCA needs your help to plant 800 of these shrubs along the Rivanna River! \nWe will access the riverbank locations by canoe and wade along muddy banks. Volunteers should be comfortable navigating the river by boat\, as well as entering and exiting the canoe in shallow water. Higher water levels and lower water temperatures are possible during this event. \n\nThis event is only recommended for paddlers who are comfortable navigating the riverbanks by boat and on foot.\nPlease bring your own chest waders if you have them! RCA has a limited supply.\nIt is recommended that you layer up\, especially the lower extremities. If possible\, avoid wearing cotton.\nRCA will provide canoes\, PFDs\, gloves (not insulated)\, waders (limited supply) and staking equipment.\n\nWe plan to paddle from Key West Swim and Tennis Club to Darden Towe Park (~2 miles). Participants should plan to shuttle in their own cars or can coordinate with the group leader\, Devon (info@rivannariver.org) on a first come\, first served basis. \nSIGN UP IS REQUIRED HERE: https://htru.io/SHpo
