PIQUA Students, faculty, staff, and friends of Edison State Community College came together for an educational kayak trip down the Great Miami River during the fourth annual “Float, Learn and Feast” event on Friday, April 23, 2021.
Organized by the Edison State Student Senate, the event brought together nearly 20 participants who embarked on the Miami River at Roadside Park to experience beautiful weather and wildlife along the way.
Jeff Lange, founder of Protecting Our Water-Ways (POWW), has joined the Edison State group to travel down the Miami River each year.
“POWW is a nonprofit organization that I started back in 2004. We are responsible for cleaning up the Great Miami River, starting in Sidney at the Big Four Bridge all the way to Great Miami River Trail near Bridge Street. In our 17-year history, we’ve removed 194,500 pounds of trash in our sixteen miles of adopted river,” said Lange.
