SUMMARY:Clean Stream Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:Each Tuesday* a Rivanna Conservation Alliance River Steward and volunteers will collect trash as we paddle along a popular 1.5-mile stretch of the Rivanna River. You can complete your registration up to the start of the event each week. \nThis event will be weekly through August 2020. We will plan to launch at 6pm from the Rivanna River Company and wrap up by 8pm at Riverview Park. \nThe paddle is self-supported in order to abide by CDC guidelines. Volunteers will need to transport themselves and their boat to and from the starting and ending locations. You may rent a kayak from the Rivanna River Company ($19); this rental includes a kayak\, PFD\, paddle\, and straps. Participants will need to transport the equipment back to RRC to the conclusion of the paddle. \nWe will plan to launch at 6pm so participants should plan their shuttle timing accordingly. You can see shuttling suggestions below. The drive between RRC and Riverview Park is 5-10 minutes\, and the Rivanna Trail walk is 20-30 minutes. \nTrash bags\, trash pickers\, gloves\, and hand sanitizer/wipes will be provided. Participants are advised to wear non-cotton clothing\, closed-toed shoes\, and bring water/snacks. \n*Paddles are weather- and flow-dependent; register to receive the latest updates. \nSELF-SUPPORT SHUTTLING SUGGESTIONS \nIf you have one car and a boat: \n\nDrop your boat at RRC and lock it\nDrive to Riverview Park\nWalk or bike the shaded and paved Rivanna Trail 1.5 miles (20-30 minutes) back to RRC\nPaddle and collect trash 1.5 miles to Riverview Park and load the boat on your car\n\nIf you have one car and need to rent a boat: \n\nReserve your rental boat online\nDrop your car at Riverview Park\nWalk the shaded and paved Rivanna Trail 1.5 miles (20 minutes) to RRC\nRetrieve your rental boat and paddle and collect trash 1.5 miles to Riverview Park and load the boat on your car\nDrop the boat back at RRC\n\nIf you have two cars (and two people)\, you will complete the above-mentioned steps\, however\, instead of walking the Rivanna Trail\, you will drop one car at Riverview Park and drive the other to RRC.

SUMMARY:Rivanna River Renaissance Conference
DESCRIPTION:The annual Rivanna River Basin Commission (RRBC) Conference will be Friday morning\, September 27\, 9-11:30 am. \nConference attendees will gather in Lane Auditorium in the Albemarle County Office Building. The invitation is attached. \nThe topic is about storm water\, and particularly the Before the Storm report each jurisdiction received more than a decade ago. \nPlease come yourself to describe or designate a staff person to represent your County\, City on the Conference Panel. The goal is to learn from others and craft a way forward. \nTopics include: \n\nHow has your jurisdiction used the information presented in the Before the Storm report of 2008-09 ?\nWere there any changes to ordinance or procedure adopted based on controlling and reducing runoff into our river?\nWere any of the suggestions not possible or workable?\nHow could an updated Before the Storm assist your jurisdiction?\n\nAfter the morning session and lunch from a food truck\, all are invited to a ceremonial float on the Rivanna (weather and water level permitting) from the newly opened rustic boat launch at Brookhill River Park\, just below the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir Dam. \nPullouts can be arranged for Darden Towe park or farther south. \nWe look forward to seeing many faces\, both new and familiar. All are welcome\, but please RSVP.
