The Santee Riverkeeper Alliance announces the First Annual Santee Riverkeeper Waterbody Rally. This cleanup effort targets all waterbodies located in the Calhoun, Clarendon, Berkeley, Orangeburg, and Sumter Counties. These waterbodies include lakes, rivers, ponds, stream and any other waterbody that requires some rejuvenation. The cleanup effort also includes any trash and debris that have washed upon the shores. We urge each group to email us their photos and garbage bag count to Riverkeeper@Santeeriverkeeper.org so that we may post the results to the Santee Riverkeeper Web site.
