Today’s video is cruising around the lake picking up that trash! The system works! Thanks again to Summit Metro Parks for picking up the trash on the east side and Ohio Erie Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition for grabbing the trash on the west side! Oh, and Thank You to whomever cleaned up some of…
First on a property owned by Garland, supported by Let’s Grow Akron and the Black Hawk Foundation. Decades of trash unmitigated from storm sewers dumped into a wetland, until today! The next two are on the south side of Summit Lake that was recently cleaned up by a group of volunteers through Ward 9 Councilperson…
This is our spoils from the south east side. Still more to do at this location but our booms will prevent much more from coming in as we keep cleaning. The crew here: Jennifer, Eric, Brad and Opa. Thanks for sharing your Saturday morning! Thanks to Tina, Julie Ann, Chris, Molly, Lilly, Sean, Crystal, Let’s…

You would be surprised at what we catch in our booms. Today we pulled 130-150 pounds of trash that would have flowed into Summit Lake. Lots of folks using the towpath and we must say, “Thank You for all the kinds words of encouragement!” It really does help. Again, thank you Summit Metro Parks for…
This one is at the bottom of Trail Ave. Managed 4 bags at about 85 pounds. Thanks Ohio Erie Canalway Coalition and Summit Metro Parks for picking up our trash! Best part of the day, meeting and talking with people out enjoying the trail!
Thanks for the sign from Julie Miller Derek! toward the middle of the short video. Summit Lake ice has gone so look for #riverkeepersohio out there again deploying new booms and maintaining all. Watch for the video tomorrow sharing the story of the lost phone from last week!!
