POINT BREEZE – This group picked up trash, including a busted kayak, from Point Breeze on Sept. 9 during the annual shoreline cleanup.
The Orleans County Soil and Water Conservation District would like to thank all those who participated including Girl Scouts from Troop 82007, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation staff and local residents.
The 17 volunteers collected 148 pounds of garbage from Glenwood Lake, Canal Widewaters, Waterport Dam, and Point Breeze.
“Most of these dedicated volunteers come back year after year, and we were so glad to have a few new faces join us this year,” said Judy Bennett, secretary and treasurer for Soil & Water.
She urged people to keep the waterways free from garbage. Anyone interested in participating in the shoreline cleanup next year can contact Soil & Water at (585) 589-5959 ext. 5.
