In case you didn’t see it, River Guardians Ohio was featured in the Winter 2026 issue of the Kenmore Connection. ♥️
Feel free to share and help get the word out about the great work they are doing in our community!

We have mentioned and shown a few times one of our big goals. The removal of phragmites along the creek so we can better access and control the trash coming into the area and to better monitor pollution entering the watershed from the storm sewer outfall. In this short snip, you can see Johnny cutting…
Thanks to the three men I saw clearing the brush along the lake’s edge this morning. I missed the opportunity to talk with them but the results of their efforts are evident! Picked up 22 pounds of trash which isn’t bad considering the long weekend.
Booms, ours and theirs, are containing the vast majority. Steady increase in volume. Will get back out Monday to put eyes on it and follow up with OEPA for next steps.
49 pounds of trash in 4 bags isn’t too bad for a 40 degree day in winter and this view was my reward!
Spent some time collecting at Mud Run (3 bags 39 pounds), Wolf Creek (1 bag 8 pounds) and new boom off of Cordova (5 bags 59 pounds).
