On
Saturday, October 16, fifteen Explorers participated in our
portion of the Great Suwannee River Cleanup. We paddled a 4 1/2
mile section of the river and collected all the trash we could find.
Cleaning the sand dunes
Cleaning a strainer (brush tangle that catches floating debris).
Climbing the shore for that hard to reach trash.
Reaching from the boat.
This cable spool is too heavy for us to retreive. It is at N 30.41928 x W 82.97905 Hopefully SRWMD might be able to get it.
Another strainer requiring poling and reaching.
Weighing in, we collected a total of 161 pounds in our 4 1/2 miles.

Our
sincere appreciation to all our volunteers and to the Sheriff's Boy's
Ranch for providing facilities and canoes for the project.
