National River Clean-up at Wilson Creek
On June 2, 2007 RRTU had 8 members meet on the headwaters of Wilson Creek on Forest Road 192 off Edgemont Road. RRTU adopted this stream in 1985 as part of Trout Unlimited’s Adapot-A-Steam Program. These volunteers spread out over the four small streams that form Wilson Creek to collect litter. After about two hours of trash duty we had collectivly gathered 9 large bags of trash, 4 tires and a table.
There are several small camping areas on FR 192 and this seemed to be where most of the litter was. Thanks go out to Lewis Barber, Ken Shoe, Bill Thomas, Andrew Cole, Nick Mermigas, Susan Harris, Alen Baker and Jim Mabrey for giving up a Saturday morning to help RRTU participate in the 2007 National River Cleanup Week.
