2015 World Rivers Day Paddle

Sept 27 (Sun): Paddle and Walk the Abbott Marshlands on World Rivers Day (Burlington/Mercer Cos). 12:00pm. World Rivers Day is a global celebration of the world’s waterways, observed every last Sunday in September. Established in 2005, it highlights the many values of rivers and strives to increase public awareness while encouraging the improved stewardship of rivers around the world. Rivers in every country face an array of threats, and World Rivers Day promotes the active involvement of citizens to ensure the health of rivers in the years ahead.   Mary Leck and Charlie Fisher will be our guides on the creek, with more activities at Mercer County’s Tulpehaking Nature Center to celebrate the Abbott Marshlands. Bring lunch and beverage; we’ll have lunch at Bordentown Beach before starting our 4-mile paddle through the Abbott Marshlands to Roebling Park.  Rentals are not available. Contact leaders to confirm trip and participation.  George & Leona F, 609-259-3734 or leona@pineypaddlers.com
