Aggressor Adventures Partners with Savannah Riverkeeper to Remove Debris from the Savannah River
Company Aims to Set Standard for Responsible, Sustainable Adventure Travel on National Cleanup Day
AUGUSTA, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#aggressoradventures—Aggressor Adventures® and Savannah Riverkeeper joined forces Wednesday, September 1 to clean up more than 420 pounds of debris from the Savannah River in honor of National Cleanup Day. Each year from coast to coast, organizations and individuals volunteer to clean up parks, trails, beaches, mountains and open spaces in honor of National Cleanup Day. This year the occasion is observed on September 18.
“The Savannah River is a beautiful body of water that our employees enjoy having access to here in Augusta, but with 10,577 square miles of watershed spanning three states, the river presents a challenge to its guardians purely with its size,” says Wayne Brown, CEO of Aggressor Adventures. “It was an honor to partner with Savannah Riverkeeper to do our part in preserving this precious waterway. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Savannah Riverkeeper and thank them for their terrific work.”
Savannah Riverkeeper serves as the primary guardian of the Savannah River striving to respect, protect, and improve the entire river basin through education, advocacy, and action. The 501c(3) non-profit organization ensures the natural, economic, and recreational viability of the basin as a whole now and for generations to come.
