The cleanup will continue until 1 p.m. The
launch and return is at the Richard E. Becker
Preserve, 3398 Selvitz Road, Fort Pierce.

“This is going to be different from our
typical adventures,” Roberts said.

Robert regularly takes folks for floating
adventures to learn about area plant, an-
imal and aquatic life. This time around,
she’ll be focusing on what’s not supposed
to be in and around the water, and picking
it up.

up trash, the adventure will be free. Partici-
pants can take their own kayaks, but don’t
have to.

“We do have a whole fleet of kayaks,”
Roberts said. “They’re very nice kayaks.”

The county has single- and double-seat
kayaks.

Additionally, Roberts said the county will
have cleanup supplies and tools on hand,
but it would be helpful for participants to
bring along some of their own.

“If they have their own gloves, that’s
great,” she said. “I’ll be able to provide a cer-
tain number of gloves and grabbers.”

There are a few things Roberts said par-
ticipants definitely should take.

“Bring a hat and bring water,” she said.
“You’ll want more water than you expect.
Bring snacks.”

Roberts said folks should plan on gather-
ing and properly disposing of their trash and
recyclables. She said plastic bags are usually
not a good pick for kayakers, because they
collect water. Roberts recommended mesh
bags for both cleaning the river and keeping
from adding to its trash.

Something else needed on the water is
sunglasses. “Polarization helps tremen-
dously on the water,” she said.

Polarized sunglasses not only help filter
