Planet Patrol River Clean Up
Be an everyday womble and leave no trace as we take to the river to clean up plastics, cans and other rubbish.
What's Included
We also have some back support for those with back problems
Our river was voted 4th best in Britain so we want to keep it that way. Become a PLANET PROTECTOR! Grab a mate, book in, select your choice of SUP, kayak, or canoe, and take to the water with us.
Getting out for a socially distanced paddle with a difference to help clean up our waterways is essential to help look after our planet and the natural world. Our team generally collects rubbish every day we are out on the water to keep it looking pristine. Rich started collecting and recording plastics over a decade ago on his adventures and is passionate about making a difference.
Cost: £10 to charity - We will be donating any hire fees collected to the Marine Conservation Society and Forest of Marston Vale.
Canoe Trail are no strangers to river clean-up activities having hosted many different river clean-up sessions over the years (usually 3-4 dedicated events per year).
We collect plastic bottles, cans, fishing lines, and spoil as well as random debris including an old kayak, a teddy bear, and a bike.
Hire FAQ's
What's the difference between a kayak and a canoe?
If you're not sure of what each craft is, then read our guide here.
Are the trips guided?
There are no guides or instructors needed for hire. This is simply a hire where you paddle out and back to our launch point. We recommend our preferred route, however, you are free-range and able to explore the river.
What if it rains?
Unless you hear from us then your booking will run on the day agreed. Canoe Trail runs watersports, paddling, and adventurous activities throughout the year with people enjoying the river and our woodland campsite during the different seasons. On rare occasions (it only happens a couple of times a year) we may move or change your booking. This will be in freak weather conditions such as extremely high river flows in spate or during heavy storms with lightning. You can read our full FAQ here.
How does the booking process work?
We use a live booking system that will assign you the relevant craft and resources. Once you have confirmed your booking date, it is not then transferable and non-refundable in the same way you book an airline seat. Bookings are to be paid in full at the time of booking and are non-refundable. There will be no refunds for early returns, poor weather, or non-usage as per our general terms & conditions.
