I have not put out many posts recently as there have been many administrative things to fill my plate. Please know though, we are always out there on the waterways, cleaning, monitoring, recording, reporting, sharing, collaborating and being the best stewards we can be. A very special THANK YOU to all those that work beside…
She is a resident that is passionate about the neighborhood going all the way back to her childhood, playing in the woods and water while exploring the trails around her home, and wants to see the same for her children and grandchildren. We are very excited to call her a friend. We pulled about 63…
On our way to the canal boom south of Summit Lake, we ran into Carol and Kim and shared what we have been doing on this and other watersheds. 33 pounds out of this boom isn’t a bad haul and picked up another 20 at booms on the east side of the lake. Good way…
We pulled somewhere between 300 and 400 pounds of trash from the south west side of the lake. Pictured are Johnny, Eric and myself. Couple notes, Johnny started off in green, ended in blue, what might be the reason for that? 🤣. He also received an award for Most Trash! A fun morning! Crystal, where…
Stay tuned for more on this location. He has been working all our locations over the past weeks while I was away and responsible for removing 574 pounds of trash!
Took Brad, Johnny and myself about 2 hours to clean out the trash collected in these Mud Run booms, but, it will now not end up spread out over hundred of miles of the Tuscarawas watershed. In the video I said I wouldn’t talk through it all, I did. Also said I would now be…
The rains Monday pushed trash through the storm sewers and right to the RiverkeepersOhio booms where it waits for us to collect. 3 bags today and about 48 pounds from the canal and Nature Center booms with a bunch more to pull from Mud Run when the water comes down a little. Johnny, in this…
After having a couple conversations, we met at the Manchester lot of the towpath, I had to head out to do some other things and a short time later he sent me a picture of his spoils from his bike ride. On Saturday he was back and ready for more to pull trash from the…
Is this why the water quality around our booms on Mud Run has recently degraded? Our trash booms serve more than to collect trash entering a waterway. Because we are always checking the booms, we notice subtle changes in the water. We have been able to identify and have corrected several issues here and in…
Sean Blake suggested we go check out the dried up pool just south of the Nature Center off the towpath. 5 tires/wheels (dang those things were heavy!) and a couple bags of trash. Scariest part of the day, almost didn’t make it back home for Browns kickoff!!!
