On Saturday, August 12th at 10am join the BRVTA team for “Love Your Greats Day” at the Bayfield River Flats. Two events will start from the River Flats parking lot, just below the Bayfield Bridge on the east side.  The Love Your Greats clean-up of the Flats will include a Scavenger Hunt for natural items found in this popular riverside area.  For those looking for a longer tour, a group will walk from the Flats across the bridge to the Sawmill Trail and down to the river on the opposite side, picking up litter along the way.  The River Flats cleanup will cover about a kilometer.  The Sawmill Trail walk will be about 5km round-trip.  For the clean-up, please bring a bucket or older reusable shopping bag (some buckets will be provided on site) and wear gloves and sturdy shoes. After the river clean-up, all participants are invited to River Road Brewing & Hops for sorting, a vendors market and live music. All collected materials will be sorted and recycled through TerraCycle.

This hike is free and open to the public without pre-registration. The schedule is subject to change, so always check for updates in the Bayfield Breeze, the BRVTA Facebook page or the Municipality of Bluewater events calendar. Or you can contact the hike coordinator, Ralph Blasting, by calling 519-525-3205 or emailing rjblasting@gmail.com.
