Our area is river rich and there are many public boat landings that provide access to our rivers. For those of us who utilize those public accesses, we want to ensure that they remain clean and usable for all. As a result, we leveraged an Adopt-a-Landing program previously established by the South Carolina’s Department of Natural Resources and created the RIVERKEEPER® Adopt-a-Landing Program.
The program launched on the Waccamaw River, in support of the Waccamaw River Blue Trail, but has expanded to other waterways within our greater Winyah Bay watershed. Like its predecessor, the program is intended to promote stewardship of public accesses to our rivers and educate the public on the harmful effects that litter has on our environment and our economy.
It is our wish that, with the help of local citizens who utilize the river and/or value the public access these landings provide, the RIVERKEEPER® Adopt-a-Landing Program will keep these accesses and our river clean and safe.
We invite local citizen groups, businesses, church groups, youth groups, school groups, and others to “adopt” their local landing.
Please complete the Adopt-a-Landing Application and Agreement. Once received and approved, your group becomes the official adopter of your chosen landing and we will ask you to complete the Adopt-a-Landing Sign Request.
Once you become an “adopter”, we ask that you notify us of your proposed cleanup and, after your cleanup, that you complete the Adopt-a-Landing Event Reporting Form so that we can keep track of how much trash is being cleaned up from the landing and the river.
