Press release from the City of Roanoke: June 7, 2022 This Saturday, June 11, 2022, Roanoke Stormwater, Roanoke Parks and Recreation, and local river outfitter Roanoke Mountain Adventures (RMA) are launching a "Protect the Blueway: Trash for T-shirt" program to reduce the amount of trash in the Roanoke River and promote use and care of the Roanoke River Blueway. Creating a clean water legacy requires a concerted effort between city staff and the city's residents and businesses. Together, we will transform the Roanoke River and its 13 tributaries into community assets, focal points, and sources of pride for those that live, work, and play in the Upper Roanoke River watershed. If you want to show off your love for the Roanoke River, pick up a bag of trash on your next river float or greenway walk and you'll receive a free "Protect the Blueway" shirt from RMA! This unique t-shirt features a map of the City of Roanoke, the Roanoke River and its tributary streams, along with the slogans "Protect the Blueway" and "Love Where You Live".
