2016 Education
Canoe Float on Friday, June 17th
GREENVILLE – Come out and enjoy a day on Greenville Creek on June 17,
2016. The Darke and Miami Soil and Water Conservation Districts,
City of Greenville, along with the Stillwater Watershed Project and the
Park Districts of Darke and Miami Counties, are teaming up to provide
an educational and fun trip covering a little over three miles on a
tributary to one of Ohio’s most scenic rivers, the Stillwater
River. Over the course of the float you hear about stream quality
monitoring, native aquatic species and water quality. Along the
way there will be some hands on identification activities for
participants. This is a great way to understand the importance
and beauty of our state’s rivers and streams. Reserve your canoe
now for a day of sun, fun and learning on Greenville Creek!
This year’s float will begin at Bear’s Mill at 9:00am and end at Hahn
Road around 2:00pm. The cost to participate is just $5.00 per
person, which covers your lunch expense. This event is not
recommended for those with health problems.
Reserve your spot today by calling the Darke SWCD office at
937-548-1752 or visit www.darkeswcd.com. Space is limited and
registrations will be taken on a first come, first served basis.
Your registration fee, $5.00, is required in advance to reserve your
spot on the float. Don’t miss out on one of this summer’s finest,
and cheapest, events on Greenville Creek.
Registrations will be accepted until June 15th or the trip is full,
whichever happens first. For more information regarding the canoe
