Learning About Pittsburgh’s Rivers, From the Rivers

Posted by Kayla on Thursday, July 16, 2009

On June 14th, outdoor activity and policy discussion were united in the first session of Venture Outdoor’s Pedal, Paddle, Peduto summer program.

For the first session, 42 people joined Councilman Bill Peduto for a kayaking trip with an informative twist. As the group kayaked on Pittsburgh’s rivers, they also learned about the Pittsburgh’s riverfront environment and riverfront development.

Lisa Schroeder from Riverlife, Tom Baxter from Friends of the Riverfront, and Rob Pfaffmann from Pfaffmann and Associates spoke to the participants about our city’s rivers.
