AVC River Sojourn
2024
Postponed to August 16, 2024
​
We are sorry, that the August 2nd sojourn had to be rescheduled, twice! We made this decision based on the weather forecast which was calling for thunderstorms and then the remnants of a hurricane. For everyone's safety and enjoyment we delayed until August 16, 2024. All other details will remain the same.
Meet at 9:30 am at the SaltBox Visitor Center at 4514 Route 322 in Franklin, at the trailhead of the Allegheny River Trail on the eastern end of the 8th Street Bridge.
Bring your own boat and floatation equipment. The sojourn will begin by 10 am and will take about 3-1/2 – 4 hours. We will float to Fisherman’s Cove, where we will be met by OARS (Outdoor Allegheny River Services), who will shuttle us back to the parking lot.
Part Two of the Event: Once we’ve come back from the river, we will gather at TrAils to Ales II at 422 12th Street, for food, beverage and conversation. We will provide a variety of food and non-alcoholic beverages. A short presentation about the environmental benefit of the Allegheny River will be given.
​
Registration is required. $40 will cover both the shuttle service and the food at Trails to Ales II.

2023 Spring Newsletter
We are entering a new season. Winter has turned to spring, migration is happening, the usual changes that come as the world keeps spinning. The Allegheny Valley Conservancy is also entering a new season. 2022 brought unexpected changes to the Board of Directors with the death of a long-time member and the marriage of another. But, our Board is also growing with new members bringing new perspectives.
