| White River Cleanup 2009 |
|
This year, September 12, 2009, volunteers will join together for the annual clean-up. Visit our website for more details about the location and to sign-up ! This event is part of a statewide effort. This project is made possible by the numerous supporting organizations and community members who have already agreed to participate. Muncie Delaware Clean and Beautiful has joined forces with Indiana American Water and Muncie Sanitary District as local sponsors. The Community Foundation also awarded a Youth Resource Grant for this project. If weather is not permitting, the clean-up will be hosted on September 19, 2009. Volunteers remove trash on foot and via canoe. Volunteers are also welcome to assist with lunch or other coordination efforts. Also, individuals are encouraged to bring their own canoe to ensure adequate equipment for the job. Last year was a huge success! Over 15,000 pounds of trash and garbage was pulled from the White River during the 2008 White River Cleanup Day. More than 480 people covered more than 17 miles of river running through Delaware County to remove man-made debris. |
