Northwest Branch Clean up<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, October 28, 9:30 \u2013 11:30 am<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Burnt Mills Park East, just south of Trader Joe\u2019s shopping center (downstream side of Colesville Rd.)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>
\nWith every rain, storm water surges down the Northwest Branch carrying trash down from all of the neighborhoods lucky enough to border the park.\u00a0 Sometimes the water gushes from the end of the stormdrain system, and sometimes water simply flows down the streets directly into the creek. That\u2019s why we encourage folks to install conservation landscaping to trap as much storm water as possible and reduce runoff.\u00a0 And that\u2019s also why the Neighbors of the Northwest Branch sponsors cleanups fall and spring. The accumulated trash – bottles, paper, plastic, Styrofoam, etc. – must be removed from the stream before it does further damage to this natural treasure.\u00a0 Not only is trash ugly to look at, it is a health hazard for wildlife…and us.\u00a0 And of course, trash breeds more trash.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>
\nSo please join us at Burnt Mills Park East, across Colesville Rd. from the dam. We\u2019ll provide simple instructions, tools, gloves, and bags. Please wear long sleeves, long pants, and shoes that can get muddy.\u00a0 Please also bring water, although water needs will be less than when it’s hot. As a special bonus, if you\u2019ve never seen the water fall and huge boulders in the Burnt Mills section of YOUR stream, now is your chance!\u00a0 They are worth the visit.\u00a0 For an advance peek at the boulders, see the picture in the banner, taken during another fall cleanup!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>
\nMany hands make light work!<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
