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!
We are starting to see some visible fruits of our labors with the booms.
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)….
Update is: There was a very large trash dam upstream just south of Wooster Rd. There was a large volume of oil in that dam but where that originated from is not known. In collaboration, the City of Akron, City of Barberton and the OEPA put in a hard boom downstream, crews entered the water…
What we are seeing here is the residual. Fire department placed the soft booms with our trash booms to collect that. (Some placement adjustment is in order and being handled). Sorry for the late update, flu had knocked me on my can.
Looks like the word made it to the folks working here. Some barriers have been put in place. Even with a soft voice, we can have impact.
