Wounded! Could be the last boom cleanup for a while!
Just a little dialogue for the first part of the video and then some details on what is happening at this and some other trash booms. 1 bag about 25 pounds.
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.
Dave and I had planned on cleaning the boom at Mud Run this morning and the rain started so I took advantage of that and came down to check the booms on Summit Lake and this is the result of that.
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.
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!
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.
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.
