Cleaned out the trash boom on the canal south of Summit Lake and then a lap around the lake proper.
49 pounds of trash in 4 bags isn’t too bad for a 40 degree day in winter and this view was my reward!

Getting ready to put in a boom up on the canal off Summit Lake
Canal Boom in place! 120 feet of trash catching magic deployed just south of Summit Lake that will help keep the lake cleaner. Thanks to Dave Stoler, Eric Fitch (thanks Pam for lending us your muscle) and Jerry Harris from Summit Metro Parks! (They help remove the trash we collect from some of our locations)….
Some old men meet up for coffee in the morning, some go fishing or take in a walk…
these two old guys meet up on Mud Run to repair blown out booms and clean up a creek. Tomorrow I hear they are going to be down stream of here to get the trash from the blown out booms 😉. Still 6 bags of trash close to 100 pounds.
Planning a celebration that involves introducing any potential pollutants to a waterway must have a proactive plan for prevention.

Picked up materials for the new boom on Summit Lake tomorrow morning!
This boom will be located right in front of the Summit Metro Parks Nature Center at the end of Ira.
Thank You Jennifer Parker Zylkor
Thank you Jennifer Parker Zylkor for the pic sticks and rope from our Amazon wish list! We are planning a small kids event in April with Summit Metro Parks at the Nature Center. We plan on building a couple trash booms to deploy there on Summit lake and to pick up some trash!
