We will try to hit the river accesses again\, along with the trail.  The boat crew will hit the river again from Roselle. Stream Teams United\, plus Brian and Bernie\,  are going to take care of the tire disposal again. This is a huge deal and we owe them a big thank you for volunteering. Like always\, I’ll be glad to answer any questions you may have.
