Paddle Volunteer Training: Equipment & Procedures

17005 SW 92nd Ave,Tigard OR 97224

23 June, 2022

Description

Tualatin Riverkeepers (TRK) is a community-based nonprofit working to protect, restore, and enjoy the Tualatin River watershed by promoting environmental stewardship, and we LOVE when our community volunteers with us! Now that you've attended our Paddle Volunteer overview session, the next step is to attend a riverside launch site training that will cover the use of our trailers, equipment, boats, and paddling gear. We will also be going over trip procedures and responsibilities that are required on each outing so you can be safe, confident, and have a thorough understanding of the situations you may encounter as a paddle volunteer. Note: we will NOT be paddling this time, but we will be outdoors. We will meet at the Cook Park Boat Ramp located at17005 SW 92nd Ave, Tigard, OR 97224. The boat ramp is located at the southern end of the park so you'll need to drive past all the sports fields and the playground to reach it. Since the training will be in the evening, we do recommend wearing the appropriate shoes and jacket for warmth or rain protection. Registering for this event will reserve a spot on Thursday June 23rd. Please contact our River Experiences Coordinator, Mark Fitzsimons, at [email protected] if you have any questions about commitments and requirements beforehand.
