Riverkeepers Ohio
I was honored to have been invited to speak about Riverkeepers Ohio to a group of people at an event held by Laura Sirot at the NTR Canoe Livery last Saturday.
One of the questions posed was, “what would I like to see from those in office to help our cause”? My simple answer was and is… “First, put some teeth behind violations to our waterways. For example: if you spill a 1000 gallons of oil in the Tuscarawas there should be fines over and above…
Worked on a trouble spot on the canal just north of Wilbert road.
Met some great people and even received a helping hand from Tim. Two ladies pictured, could not remember if I asked if they could be tagged but they had picked up trash along the towpath and I was able to place it next to ours for pickup by Summit Metro Parks. Thanks to all! Days…
I love when kids ask me what we are doing?
Thank You, Kayandisu for stopping with your children and sharing some time. Riverkeepers Ohio is about getting our future generations involved in keeping our waterways clean.
The movement that is Riverkeepers Ohio was born on this day 2 years ago along this section of the Tuscarawas River
A special thanks to the core of Sherry Carnahan, Dave Stoler and Wendy Hagen. We have stopped over 6 tons of trash from getting into major waterways like the Tuscarawas and Summit Lake. Stay tuned for the next 2 years!! For more on the #disasteronthetuscarawas, visit our website: riverkeepersohio.com
A bird’s eye view of the Cordova Ave property that RiverkeepersOhio has been asked to assist in mitigating the trash, cleaning up the area and restoring this treasure in the middle of urban Akron.
It is a VERY ambitious project but with the help of Akron City Council, the City Service Department, Black Hawk Foundation, Let’s Grow Akron, Summit Soil and Water Conservation District and the surrounding property owners, we can show what passionate people can accomplish.
