RiverLures Kayak Adventures hosted a river cleanup Monday along the Maumee River in Grand Rapids, Ohio. The company has hosted three cleanup trips a year for the past five years. Refuse, which includes bottles and cans, trash bags, construction tubing, tires, and treated lumber is taken to the Wood County landfill. Cleanup volunteers are asked to make a donation to Nature’s Nursery to secure a spot on the five-mile trip.
