The MCC actively engages in many projects related to our area's
(and our Nation's) rivers. We take part in a number of "river cleanups"
each year, both on our own and in conjunction with other clubs.
Through correspondence and attendance at meetings the MCC is in
regular contact with the "powers that be" that have control and
oversight over our rivers. An active interest in the future of these rivers is a hallmark of our club.
At this time a major concern is the loss of access points in the
Harpers Ferry, WV area. We are actively working to maintain and
improve paddler's access to the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers as
well as local streams such as Antietam Creek. Through this WEB PAGE
we will let you know what the MCC is doing in this regard, with
the hope that you will take up the cause. You can join us or do
it yourself, but please take an interest in saving our rivers and
our access to them.
