Wading for Tires

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out at our Wading for Tires summer clean-up. This year’s hearty crew waded upstream from Northline bridge and discovered, dug-up, and dragged-out 26 tires from the bottom of the Creek, including one ginormous tractor tire. In addition to the tires, the crew of 14 volunteers collected all sorts of trash and debris, filling 3 canoes and 4 kayaks nearly to the tipping point (it could be that one boat went a bit past that point). Along with pulling trash and tires the adventurous group found a large blockage and cleared it with hand tools and muscles. The creek was completely blocked and difficult to portage around due to large branches. now the path is clear for safe paddling. Thanks again to all for the continued support!
