Join ORK and the Fort Stewart Fish and Wildlife Branch on Saturday, December 2 for a paddle.
This is a lower watershed paddle between Landings 26-1B on the Canoochee River. This is a 6.1 mile trip / ~ 4 hour paddle, with a lunch break about half way. This intermediate level paddle is not advisable for novice paddlers. Participants *must* provide their own gear and vessels. Personal flotation devices are required. There are no outfitters available to rent gear or vessels.
There is no cost to attend but participants should bring their own lunch and water. Pre-registration is required. Anyone who arrives without pre-registering will not be able to participate.
Share what things in nature you are thankful for with us during the month of November at info@ogeecheeriverkeeper.org or on social media with #ORKthanks.
Now available for a limited time: Zip-up hoodies! These are only available until Dec 31, 2023 so order yours now.
These items are made to order and ORK receives a portion of each sale. This allows us to offer more colors without keeping so many items in house. Each purchase of official ORK merch supports clean water!
Goodwill Green event
ORK will be on hand to share information about our work and other ways we can all make a positive impact on the waste cycle. Visit the Sallie Mood Drive location to donate material goods, electronics, access document shredding and more!

Blackwater Barons
ORK has teamed up with local artist Juliana Smith to create a custom artwork entitled “Blackwater Barons” featuring the plants and wildlife in the Ogeechee River watershed. Juliana designed the piece, carved the linocut by hand, and pulled a limited number of prints. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Oyster Roast this year. It was a chilly night but it was great to see everyone out supporting clean water. Check out these images from Liv Nelson Photography.
Responsible wrapping
Get creative with alternative wrapping. Use newspapers, paper bags, or fabrics. Make bows from bits of ribbon, strips of unused fabric, or even shoelaces! Find embellishments like sprigs or pinecones to tie on.
