Write Up:

We had excellent sunny weather for our clean-up day, and spent 2 hours removing litter from the Mill Creek Ravine. We found that logs that had fallen across the creek were able to accumulate an incredible amount of junk - both the stinky and the disturbing kind. In the end, we hauled out several garbage bags full of litter, as well as 2 shopping carts.

Quote of the day (from Bryan): "I wonder if anybody could do a study to find out why it is that so many shopping carts end up in the rivers, creeks and streams of Edmonton?"

Thanks everyone for coming out!
