Salaca clean-up on 10 May!

On 10 May, the Fishing Club “Salackrasti”, together with the Svētupe Protection Society, invites you to join a clean-up of the banks of the Salaca River. The clean-up will run from the “Atpūtas” recreation site in the Ainaži rural area all the way to the port area in Salacgrīva.

Anyone interested can take part in the clean-up, but please register in advance so that we know roughly how many volunteers to expect.

Form: Salaca clean-up 2025

The members of the fishing club will make sure you have everything you need for the work, including work gloves, rubbish bags and a warm lunch. Combine business with pleasure and spend the day on the riverbank, doing good deeds in the fresh air!

The river will be divided into eight sections along both banks. Small groups of volunteers will be placed in each section so that the work progresses evenly along the whole river.

Plan for the day

• Meeting point for everyone: Vecsalaca at 10:00, “Lašlejas”, Niedru iela 9 (by the inspection building in Vecsalaca park, coordinates: 57.755074, 24.413669). The morning briefing and the distribution of work gloves and bags will also take place there. This time there is no need to bring your own tools.

• You can get to the starting point by car, by bike, on foot or even by boat. We will take care of you and bring you back to the starting point and your transport once we have cleaned up the stretch of the bank together.
• Before the big river clean-up there will be an introductory seminar – experts will talk about the Life is Salaca project.

• After a great day’s work, we invite you to enjoy an excellent soup on the bank of the Salaca and take part in a lottery. This year the prize is a gift card worth 200 EUR from the shop Eholotes. The shop offers a wide range of products for water lovers, from hooks, lures, clothing and accessories to boats and outboard motors.

See you on 10 May at ten in the morning in Vecsalaca!
