Clinton CleanScapes Phase II West Branch Susquehanna Cleanup September 11
|
|
Clinton County CleanScapes and its partners are sponsoring a Phase II West Branch Susquehanna Cleanup on September 11 in Woodward Township near Lock Haven.
On July 17, 65 participants removed 6.67 tons of tires and 798 lbs. of man-made debris from the West Branch Susquehanna River. At the western edge of The Great Island it is reported that there are 65-135 more tires ready for removal. This is the only area that we plan to concentrate our efforts-it is anticipated that we can finish this section during Phase II!
Waders, paddlers, flat bottom boaters and photographers are encouraged to consider joining this unique recreational opportunity. To date, friends and family from Sunken Treasure Scuba Center and Lock Haven University’s AmeriCorp/VISTA students have already committed to joining this event. This is exciting-such a wide range of ages and abilities always creates a unifying team building atmosphere!
Funding for this project is provided in part by the Clinton County Government, the Wayne Twp. Landfill/Solid Waste Authority, PennDot District 2 and CCC supporting members.
