PLEASE HELP! Keep the Sugar River Sweet & Clean
>>>VOLUNTEER ON SAT. MAY 17th<<<
Do you love the Sugar River? Do you like to see it clean of refuse or full of trash? Do you like it full of dangerous treefalls or safe for our kids to navigate? If your answer to these questions is yes, then why not come out and join us on Saturday May 17th from 9am-4pm at our annual Sugar River Cleanup! We will have canoes available to use so basically it’s a FREE Canoe Trip where all you have to do is pick up trash or clear branches. Shuttle service will be provided. The Lake Winnetka Sugar River Improvement Association Inc. will hold its annual Sugar River cleanup in Albany WI. On Saturday May 17th 2025 from 9 am to 4 pm. We will meet at the Albany American Legion Hall @ 300 N Water St. Our goal is to remove as much garbage as possible from the river & its banks & also to clear a path through fallen trees that totally block navigation of canoes & create hazards. Categories of work vary from walking the banks or riding in canoes, kayaks or boats & picking up trash or cutting tree branches & handing them to people on shore. Please indicate the category of work you’d like to do when you register on our pre-registration page. Equipment needed is canoes or small boats, chain saws, bow saws & waders. The association will provide trash bags & local businesses will provide food & refreshments. We will get organized at 9am & begin cleaning up at 10am or sooner, however, a representative will be on premise at the Legion to direct those who want to come later. Students and scouts can earn community service points by helping out. PLEASE VOLUNTEER your help or equipment. You can contact us for more information by E-mail at lwsria@aol.com or on our association Facebook page Facebook.com/lwsria or call 773-418-7123, & leave a message including your name & phone number & we will return your call. We also have a pre-registration page where you can pick your work category & hours you can work. https://forms.gle/7XKrWKfbx1HfvM8N9 Come on out & help us clean up while enjoying the great outdoors after a long dull winter.
