One of our future doing his part to keep our waterways clean of trash. He was part of a group #RiverKeepersOhio did an event for through Summit Metro Parks earlier in the year. They learned how the trash from the streets miles away ends up in his lake through storm sewers. They built and installed a trash boom in Summit Lake outside the Nature Center. He earned a RiverKeepers Ohio branded bucket and pick stick so he can keep his neighborhood looking good! Thank You Levi!
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.
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.
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…
Therapeutic to watch these booms go from full of trash to clean!
Dave noted it before I arrived and we watched for a few minutes. We looked upstream for a possible source but with such limited access to the water in this section, we found nothing. We did make a report to the OEPA. Will post with any follow-up. Update: 3 June 4pm, OEPA has contacted me…
