West Fork Cleanup Report and Pics

Post by Half Ton » Fri May 13, 2011 11:20 am

The river is barely floatable, but very trashed from recent floods.

Should you have the time, and no plans to go somewhere's else for a paddle.

Come on out to Riverside Park in West Fork tomorrow morning!

Cleanup begins at 8 am lunch begins at 11:30.

We can arrange shuttles to an extent and would love to have your help.

89 folk braved the unseasonable weather to help cleanup the West Fork. About 10% were from the club or boater affiliated.

some volunteers, like Howard, did it with a little more flare than the rest :beer:

Image
lots of youth support from the Boy Scouts and Students Taking All Responsibilty club.

Image
some volunteers were upset with the amount of trash that they found. :shock:

Image

a lot of trash was reusable

Image

a lot of trash was worth some $$$

Image

a lot of door prizes worth some $$$ mad some volunteers happy

Image

a little less than 2 tons was picked up
