About the crew
A family from Russellville, on the water together
Paddle for the Planet is a small family-run river cleanup crew from Russellville, Kentucky, in Logan County.
How the crew works
Founder Cody is a diesel mechanic. He kayaks with his family, picking up trash as they go. The crew is three people, and maybe two others.
That’s the whole idea: stay small, paddle the rivers we already know, and come back each year. We’re getting started with Logan County Trash for Cash, working under an existing local nonprofit group, and we may explore Kentucky nonprofit and 501(c)(3) status later.
We are not yet incorporated and are not a 501(c)(3) organization at this time.
What we don’t claim
This is a first look at a small local crew. We haven’t listed awards, partner logos, or a long history here because those details still need to come from Cody. If you want to paddle with us or share supplies, the Get Involved page is the right next stop.
