Cleanup Paddle at Union Reservoir. Tues., June 3, 9:15 am- about 1 pm.
This is an ACA paddle, so a person who is not an ACA member will be required to purchase an ACA event membership for $10.00 and to complete an ACA Waiver & Release of Liability form (adult or minor).
Each participant will also need to sign a City of Longmont waiver, to be emailed, which you will need to print out, sign, bring with you.
The City of Longmont has agreed to waive their entrance and boating fees for participants.
The reservoir is low this year and it may impact birds, but in the past the selection of birds found at Union, included yellow-headed black birds, coots, grebes, eagles, herons, pelicans, osprey, and red-tailed hawks. Earlier this year, there were avocets and yellowlegs.
It’s a great place to paddle, especially with the fee being waived. It is located east of County Line Road in Longmont.

Lunch: How about if we plan to meet back at the put-in by noon or so for a group (bring-your-own) lunch. Some participants may decide to go back out and paddle/bird/collect more trash. This may be weather dependent.
For participants, the City of Longmont will waive the entrance and boat fee.
The entrance booth attendant will know we are coming but will not have a list of people but rather will be relying on a placard (to be emailed to participants) which you will need to print out and place on your dashboard. I will have my cell phone with me so please call 720-210-8858 if anything comes up.
Each participant will need to sign a City of Longmont Waiver. (to be emailed to participants) which you will need to print out, sign it, and bring it with you.
PFD required (A no brainer for our group).
The city will provide trash bags and neoprene gloves, which I will be picking up from the volunteer coordinator and bringing along.
