OPTIONAL MORNING SESSION
As I will be on the river in the morning doing some scouting and
precleaning, people welcome to join me at that time, but please make
specific arrangements with call James (the organizer) (090-1847-5075).
INFO:
If you come late, it will be about a 25-min walk to our location on the
opposite side of the river from the Clean Spa. We’ll start under the
Tokyo Bay front bridges (Rt. 357, highway & Keiyo Line)
RAIN:
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled as
we will move to and from the river by car and we will be cleaning up
under the cover of bridges. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds
(e.g., typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled.
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the
same time.
