> One of the most concerning things about the proposal for another tar sands pipeline traveling through Wisconsin is the many important places that are jeopardized by a potential spill or the disruption of constructing a new line.  
>  
> 
> On June 24, people from around the state will gather to celebrate and enjoy these important places.  We hope to see you there!
> 
> Paddle on the Pipeline
> Join us for a fun day of canoe paddling on the Namekagon River, one of the most concerning places where the pipeline crosses.  We will be dropped off at the County Road K Landing and will be picked up at the Howell Landing. 
> 
> This will be a 4-5 hour paddle with chances to stop for a picnic along the way. We will be renting canoes and using shuttles from Jack's Canoe Rental. 
> Cost: $32 for the canoe rental and shuttle
>           $7 for the shuttle if you choose to bring your own canoe. 
>  
> Based on how many people participate, we might spell out "No Pipelines or No Pipes" with the canoes and kayaks  and take an overhead photo.

> Pedal on the Pipeline
> 
> Join 30-mile roundtrip bike ride. We will meet at the Cottage Grove trailhead of the Glacial Drumlin trail and ride approximately 13 miles to where Line 61 pipeline crosses the trail and stop for a short program. We will ride on to Korth Park (2 miles) where we will stop for lunch and relaxation before riding back to Cottage Grove.

> 
> Riders should bring a sack lunch and water and be prepared to purchase a daily fee state trail pass for $5 if you do not have a current annual state trail pass. Drinking water and restrooms are available at  Cottage Grove Trailhead, Deerfield Trailhead and Korth Park. 
> 
> 
> Protect the Water March
> 
> We will stand together in Janesville to raise awareness on the importance of protecting our water. This event will take place along the Rock River near the farmer's market.
> 
> 11a.m. - Congregate at the Lower Courthouse Park where there is an outside ampitheater and seating on the hill (between St. Lawrence on the South; S. Main St. on the West; and E. Court St. on the East. Parking is available on Main and St. Lawrence; there is a parking area and a ramp at the Courthouse in both the front and back.
> 
> March goes North on Main St. until it reaches Centerway (Hwy. 51) then turning South to stand on the bridge. After a given time period (TBD?), march resumes across that bridge to either proceed E. on River St. and/or on the Ice Age Trail - although the sidewalks on the street would probably provide greater visibility. Upon reaching W. Milwaukee St., the march turns left to recross the Milwaukee St. River bridge and end up back at the Courthouse Park.
