Aquascape Environmental’s Jim Lanier is part of the 2013 hosting committee for “Paddling Through History,” an event to benefit the Coosa River Basin Initiative and the Etowah River Water Trail Project on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013. Several Aquascapers have attended in past years, and it’s gotten a universal thumbs up!
This special event takes in one of the most significant antebellum historic sites in the Etowah River Valley: Valley View plantation, a home that predates the Civil War and was occupied by Union troops during the war. A tour of the home will be followed with a six mile paddle down the Etowah where participants will view centuries-old Native American fish dams. A catered dinner at Valley View will wrap up the evening along with a kayak raffle and live auction.
