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!
Summit Lake
Met Bob along the east side of Summit Lake today and collected about 55 pounds of trash from the booms on that side following yesterday’s rain.
Will hit the west side tomorrow along with Mud Run and Wolf Creek! Thanks Summit Metro Parks for picking up my bags!
Sunday rains lead to some boom clean outs
About 100 pounds, at Summit Lake, Canal, Mud Run, Wolf Creek and wrapped up today with a new boom at Summit Lake! Bring on the Rain!
Had to pull out “the guns” for 253 pounds of trash this morning that made it downstream on Mud Run when our booms blew out from the flooding. (We repaired them yesterday).
We do have some fun and really appreciate the waves and words of encouragement from folks passing by. Tomorrow at 8 am, we will be on Summit Lake around the Nature Center adding secondary booms there. (Too much trash coming through the storm sewers on heavy rain events). A big Thank You to Summit Metro…
Newest boom in place!
Pretty big source of trash there and we should be able to access it to cleanup with just a pair of muck boots. Thanks South Street Ministries for the interest and the assist! And thanks to Summit Metro Parks.
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.
With the expected weather, we wanted to clear and check the boom on Mud Run
We appreciate the efforts of Akron Services Department in clearing access to the site! Close to 100 pounds today and well over a ton so far at this site has been removed. We will be deploying another boom on Summit Lake this Monday morning at the end of IRA Ave. If anyone is interested in…
Welcome our newest #riverkeepersohio member Grant!
We hit the booms at Summit Lake and picked up a bag from the towpath. He earned his reward and shirt!!!
RiverKeepers Ohio out on the water today cleaning, maintenance, planning, passing out swag and fun!
6 bags here and 1 from Summit Lake. Wendy, Dave and I are missing Debbie today. She had an injury a week ago and is recovering. She should be back a little in the future. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!
