Down by the River is a guided group bike ride along River Road in St. Charles Parish. It brings you face to face with two powerful forces in Louisiana: the environmental justice movement and local African-American history. It is an evolution of what has traditionally been called a "toxic tour"--a drive-by of polluting sites like dumps, refineries, and chemical plants. Down by the River transforms a litany of depressing sites into powerful beacons of resistance, a lens through which the past and present are applied to today's environmental movement. Bicycles and helmets are provided. Participants cycle mostly on the levee, next to the Mississippi River, stopping at six historically relevant sites. Co-led by a community organizer from a local grassroots group and the Bike Ride Manager of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade.

The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to unite people in action to achieve a thriving, sustainable Louisiana coast for all. Incorporated in 1988, CRCL represents a unique mix of businesses, local governments, industries, scientific communities, national and local conservation groups, hunters, anglers and a broad spectrum of concerned residents who share a common vision and commitment to the sustainability of coastal Louisiana. The common vision of these varied and diverse interests is the driving strength of CRCL, the most effective and recognized coastal advocacy organization in the state. Recognizing that Louisiana’s coastal land loss will have dramatic impacts on the nation’s energy, navigation and fisheries interests, CRCL works at the state, local and federal levels to ensure that restoring and protecting coastal Louisiana is a top priority for our state and the nation.
In addition to our role as advocate and watchdog, we also serve as responsible stewards of Louisiana’s rich coastal wetlands. We facilitate and fund restoration projects through our Native Plants Program and Oyster Shell Recycling Program, and we work diligently to raise awareness and educate others about the importance of preserving and restoring coastal Louisiana.​​ Participants will tour CRCL’s Restoration Headquarters, where we host regular volunteer opportunities through our Oyster Shell Recycling Program and Native Plants Program.
