Fall Waterway Clean Up

Saturday, October 2 2010; 8:30am-noon


Please join in by registering your team. You may choose “land or sea”. We don’t want small fries on the rivers but in a park or by small stream. The registration page is here. Registration is due by Sept 17th. Thanks in advance for being a team player.

 

October 2nd marks the day that the citizen volunteers get together to “cover the waterfront”.

Last year they found cigarette butts, plastic, animal skull, bikes, sand bags, bait cans, bottles, diapers, TV’s, toys and more. We count on our volunteers!
