The Apalachicola Riverkeeper has kicked
off its annual RiverTrek campaign.
RiverTrek
is a yearly fundraising and awareness-raising campaign for the Apalachicola
Riverkeeper.
It
includes having 12 people kayak 106 miles down the Apalachicola River from
Chattahoochee to Apalachicola over 5 days in October.
4
of this year’s participants are from Apalachicola, 6 are from Tallahassee, 1 is
from Carrabelle and 1 is from Peachtree City, Georgia.
People
who take part help raise money for the Riverkeeper group to help fund their
outreach, education and advocacy efforts.
Last
year's event raised more than 50 thousand dollars.
Fundraising
has now started in July and the 5-day and the 106-mile trip from Chattahoochee
to Apalachicola occurs October 23rd through the 27th.
