We have a few fun events coming up in 2011!  We hope you will make like a whale and join us in one of our Pods.

Thanks to the 421 volunteers who came together to help with the Clackamas Down the River Clean Up on September 11.  We removed 3.4 tons of trash and found the river in possibly the worst condition we’ve seen in nine years.  The Oregonian published a great article about the event. See photos by Mark Gamba Photographs here!

Join us on October 6th at the Ripple Art Auction at KEEN Headquarters (926 NW 13th AVE. Portland, OR) to view the creative works of local artists up-cycling river trash, bid on pieces you like, and drink libations courtesy of Sierra Nevada Brewing.

On Oct 8-9th the 3rd Annual Great Willamette Clean Up will take place at 18 locations throughout Oregon, covering 187 miles of the Willamette River.  Please see the Event Page Here for all the details and to register for the location nearest you!

And, not to miss: our second Volun-tourism Weekend in conjunction with the Great Willamette Clean Up – learn to fly fish, stand up paddle board or paddle your way to Willamette Falls!
