If you're looking to put a little labor into your Labor Day weekend, you can join a couple of local organizations for a land- and water-based effort to pick up litter along the Genesee River.
Genesee RiverWatch and Walking for Rochester are teaming up for "TLC for the Genesee." The trash removal effort begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, starting at the Genesee Waterways Center in Genesee Valley Park.
The groups are looking for kayakers and canoers to tackle garbage along the Genesee River shoreline. They also welcome people who can gather trash along the shore and park trails near the center.
Paddlers can use their own boats or rent one from the center.
Genesee RiverWatch held its annual clean-up paddle earlier this month. The event drew 30 people who, according to the organization, filled bucket after bucket with garbage.
