Project Number157
LocationChisana and Tanana Rivers
DatesJune 2010
Duration3-5 Days
Number of Volunteers Needed2-4
DescriptionThis project would entail boating (power boat, raft & / or canoe) on the Chisana and Tanana Rivers (possibly Desper & Scottie Creeks depending upon water level, # volunteers, etc.) in early summer to collect accumulated trash along the banks (minimal) and in traditional camp spots.
Skills Needed1 ORGANIZER/OUTREACH/LABORER 3 HELPER/LABORER Volunteers should be physically fit, able to work in remote settings w/o amenities (such as showers, toilet facilities, etc.) and comfortable on glacial rivers (in power boats and paddle boats.) Camping out (in tents, on the ground) will be a necessity, therefore volunteers must be willing to set up/take down their own tents, be responsible for their own personal gear and assist in group camp chores. Participants should be able to lift and carry 25 lbs over uneven terrain as retrieving trash through shallow water and mud and hauling it to the boats will be the main objective of the trip.
