Riverkeepers Ohio has gone International!
Michaela, my Cousin here from Germany, spent some time this weekend checking and cleaning booms. 3 bags of trash and another 60 pounds or should it be 27.22 kilograms, out of the waterways!

Bag of trash and passed the grasses on down stream. Ready for the rain! Using that rake you gifted Julie Ann Sweet-Buntin!
Will hit the west side tomorrow along with Mud Run and Wolf Creek! Thanks Summit Metro Parks for picking up my bags!
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!
This is a 5 minute video showing the process of building and installing a boom. We anticipate a pretty good volume of trash collected here and very grateful to Julie Miller and her husband for giving access to this location and the City of Norton who will be picking up our collected trash!
We are starting to see some visible fruits of our labors with the booms.
They will be assisting with cleaning out the booms going forward. Today was “training” with Chris so he can train his crews. Dave was here too but had to leave before pictures were taken!
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.
