Thanks to the University Heights neighborhood in Henrico for
participating in our Self-Directed Trash Cleanup Program. This is the second
year for this cleanup event along Long Creek and
participation was tripled! 30 volunteers came out and collected 10 bags
of trash.
“The neighborhood held our second-annual community creek
cleanup on Saturday, April 21, 2012. Thanks to all who joined our cleanup day
which fell on Earth Day weekend this year. We found lots of debris including
plastic bags, broken glass, fiberglass insulation, and cans. Special thanks to
the Maloney’s for providing lunch and the James River Association for the use
of their grabbers. I am still hearing how much people enjoyed it. And
how the kids now walk by the creek and gather the trash that has since
accumulated. To me, that is a huge success!”
