Mother Nature had been fighting us this winter with high water, ice, debris. Thanks to Julie Miller for granting access to this section of the creek. And, thank you to Norton Service Dept and Larry Hess for picking up our collected trash. These are two of our biggest hurdles to putting booms in. Permission for access and support to pick up the trash collected. Somewhere between 60 and 70 pounds in 2 bags on this Wednesday morning.
Has been a busy week but well worth it! Next project will be deploying a boom on the canal south of the lake…maybe this weekend!
Because moving water is ever changing, we need to adjust. Dave and I were talking after the move how full of trash this area was last year when we started this. Now, we almost always see fish and wildlife here. Does make us feel good.
OEPA did visit this boom today. We have not heard what this is exactly. When we know, we will share. Did get about 30 pounds of trash out.
I pose a challenge in the video that you might have fun with Sherry, my wife the author, would do well with this and be able to tell a story just by looking at those tracks of what the animals were doing. It’s not all trash out here.
