the Thornapple River and Grand River during this year’s Annual River

Local church, community and service groups, as well as individuals are

being encouraged to participate. Participants under the age of 18 must

be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult. Volunteers may

join in a “land team” to walk along the shores or a “water team” to be

on the river in their canoes, kayak or other boat.  All volunteers should

pre-register with the coordinating agencies prior to the River Clean-Up

Day to coordinate supplies and logistics.

to help clean up sections of Thornapple River and the Grand River that

flow through Ada Township.  Volunteers are to contact the Ada Parks

& Recreation Department prior to the event to register.  On Saturday,

Covered Bridge in Ada at 8:30 a.m. for an orientation meeting, car

shuttle, snacks, supplies and team assignments. A complimentary lunch
