Wednesdays on the Water
In an effort to introduce members of the region to the Cape Fear River, CFRW offers ‘Wednesdays on the Water.” We can take up to 7 guests in the RIVERKEEPER patrol boat for a 50 mile tour of the water shed. We cover 5 rivers on the 5-6 hour trip and invariably see numerous examples of wildlife species that call the Caper Fear home.
Cost
The 6-month programme fee is £2180.
