This Saturday River Guardians Ohio will be doing a cleanup of Pigeon Creek upstream from 1395 Collier Road in Akron.

This will be part of a long term mitigation action by us. There will be a trash boom deployed so you can experience this in real time as we clear a few debris dams and begin the process of remediating this section of one or our urban watersheds.

Come out between 830 and 11 to fill up a bag or two of trash (plenty to go around, I promise you that) and meet the RGO team of Kat Donaldson, Eric Fitch, Matt Pulliam, Kary Burns-Bailey, Kyle Dexter (our newest member and Guardian of this section) and myself.

Please wear appropriate clothing as it will be cooler, boots, gloves and a Smile! We might just have some t-shirts for those that help with the massive amount of trash. You will not need to get in the water.

We do not take on these projects alone and a big thank you to Keep Akron Beautiful, City of Akron, OH, Summit Soil and Water Conservation District for your assistance. And thank you, Amy Miller Dunkler and Bob Dunkler for access and support.

Hope to see you there!!!
