This May, the Neuse Riverkeepers will embark upon a journey down the entire length of the Neuse River. This paddle beginning at the Falls Lake Dam, will take the Neuse Riverkeepers through rapids, cypress swamps and the Neuse “Bottom Lands” before their completion in Oriental. This year, the Neuse Riverkeepers are inviting volunteers to paddle with them.

Will you join the Neuse Riverkeepers on a leg of their journey?

Paddlers from all levels of experience are invited to join us. All participants must raise $200 for each leg of the trip they wish to paddle. Paddlers who raise $500 can register for as many legs as they would like. Proceeds will benefit Neuse RIVERKEEPER® Foundation programs.

Participants will receive a year long membership to the Neuse RIVERKEEPER® Foundation, a commemorative Tour de Neuse t-shirt and lunch, snacks and beverages while on the paddle. A limited number of canoes and kayaks are available. Optional camping and other activities are scheduled for a number of the legs.

Visit http://neuseriver.org/events/tourdeneuse2009.html or contact Stephanie@neuseriver.org for registration information and a detailed itinerary.

Registration is required and space is limited. Sign up today!
