BVFF Boise River Spring Cleanup #1

Boise River Spring Cleanup #1 

This is a joint river cleanup effort between BVFF, VICE Outdoors and the Snake River Water Keepers. Please note that the date of the cleanup has been moved up from March 30th to March 16th to avoid anticipated increases in Boise River Flows.  Please re-register for this 

WHAT: BVFF’s semi-annual cleanup on the Boise River in the area of Westmoreland Park. We will work both sides of the river for about ½ mile above and below the park and around Riverside Park.  There will be a second cleanup event as well just upstream of this location, lead by VICE outdoors.

DATE: Saturday, March 16, 2024

TIME: Meet at 9am MDT. Plan to finish by noon.

LOCATION:  Westmoreland Park, Garden City (see map)

DIRECTIONS: At the intersection of Glenwood St. and Riverside Dr., head east on Riverside Dr.; Take the second available right turn (look for the small river access sign) which takes you through a parking area to Westmorland Park.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

• Waders are not required by everyone BUT We do need as many people as possible to wear waders and enter the water for trash in the river.
• Your safety and well-being come first. If you are getting into the river please bring a wading staff. River flows are expected to be low, but could rise and impact our ability to get into the river.
• Weather could be cold and wet so come prepared
• Please register to receive updated information.
• Plan to get together with a few members to fish afterward. Nymphing is usually good this time of year; streamers are also a good option.
• BVFF supplies tools, but if you have and are willing to bring any type of trash picker and/or a claw-cultivator type garden tool for pulling trash out of hard to reach places, please bring them along (more tools = more trash!)
