The
Apalachicola Riverkeeper has kicked off its annual RiverTrek
campaign.
RiverTrek
is a yearly fundraising
and awareness-raising campaign for the Apalachicola River.
This
is the 11th
year of the event which will take 14 participants on a 107 mile kayak
trip over 5 days from Chattahoochee to the Apalachicola Bay.
Two
of this year's participants and from Apalachicola - Janine Gedmin and
Anita Grove; Other participants range from Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina.
The
volunteer kayakers will travel the entirety of the Apalachicola River
in mid-October- on the way they will meet with expert biologists,
historians and others along the route.
The
paddlers raise money to support the Apalachicola Riverkeeper – last
year's group raised nearly 60 thousand dollars.
Each
paddler is currently gathering sponsors—you can find out about each
participant and donate to the cause by going on-line to
apalachicolariverkeeper.org/rivertrek.
