ClearWater Conservancy Watershed Cleanup Day April 25

The ClearWater Conservancy will sponsor its annual Watershed Cleanup Day on April 25 to eliminate little and dumping throughout Centre County's watersheds.

 

The watershed cleanups wereinitiated in 1997 with the collection and disposal of 17 tons of trash in the Spring Creek Watershed. Volunteers have removed nearly 1,900 tons of trash from Spring Creek, Halfmoon Creek, Beech Creek, Penn Creek, and Little Fishing Creek Watersheds.

 

2008 was a record-breaking year with a stunning 467 tons. Prior to that, 2005 was our biggest year in terms of tonnage with an amazing 410 tons, and we came close in 2006 with 343 tons and again in 2007 with 360 tons.

 

The cleanup will be held from 8:00 to noon starting at the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center.
