SRN Participation Information

- All SRN days will begin at 9:00 AM in room 112 Bessey Hall, ISU campus.  Be on time or risk being left behind.
- Transportation and lunch will be provided. (If you wish to drive your own vehicle to facilitate departure before we're finished, or provide additional transportation in the event that the ISU vans are full, that's fine)
- You WILL get wet and muddy.  Wear shoes (old tennis shoes work very well) and clothes (jeans get very heavy when wet) that you don't mind getting wet and muddy.  We will be picking up trash along about 3 miles of river.  The walking is sometimes "challenging".
- Bring water to drink.
- Dress for the weather.  Unless the water level in the river is too high, we will most likely be going.
- You may want insect repellant and sun screen.
- "Cookies at the Colbert's" will be available at the end of SRN days
- Approximate time of return to campus will be 4-5:00 PM.
- Questions about cancellations, postponements, etc. can be answered by Jim Colbert (294-9330 [office], 232-1325 [home],  or ).
