Earth Day Clean Up


A group of the Environmental Association went to clean up at Broad Brook. We started at Burton Ave. and went towards Starrs Rd. and also towards Parade Street. We filled about 8 bags with garbage. Mostly the garbage was plastic, such as plastic bags, wrappers and styrofoam. There is an oily film on the water in several spots. There were only about 4-5 recyclables.

There were about half a dozen Tim Horton cups and lids and several things came from Kent's. The most unusual things we found were parts from a car engine and a CB radio.
We saw a couple of ducks, frogs and tadpoles. It was a lovely day for a clean up.
