Millstone river-D&R canal 3/11/17:

[AndyS]

3/11/2017 - Griggstown Floodplain (TLC for the D&R!)

CJST's first large cleanup of the year was a great success considering the cold and snow. On a day when the volunteer count was higher than the temperature, 36 volunteers braved the cold to clean up the Millstone River floodplain and along the Delaware and Raritan Canal. A special thank you to Watershed Ambassador Anna Marshall for organizing the event! I don't know how she got all these people out on a chilly day but job well done!

Also thank you to the Park Service for disposing of the trash. They were picking up the trash so fast that I didn't even get pictures of the piles!

Among the items collected were 10 tires, 40 bags of trash and recyclables, a traffic barrel and several barricades, a plastic skateboard ramp, half of an office chair, lots of plastic containers (garbage can, flower pots, buckets, milk crate, tote), and lots more that I didn't even see because it was gone already by the time I made it back to the parking area!

It seems like the next one is Earth Day, April 22 i think. Check out cjstreamteam's site, im betting they'll update their site soon to reveal plans for the next event.
