Scajaquada Clean Up April 2003

Over 80 volunteers helped clean up Scajaquada Creek on Saturday, April 19. The event was sponsored by Friends of the Buffalo Niagara Rivers, Scajaquada Creek Watershed Advisory Council and Keep Western New York Beautiful. Volunteers picked up litter and debris from the stream and banks at the annual Earth Day cleanup on the Scajaquada Pathway near Delaware Park, and Bob Hartl from 1-800-GOT-JUNK? donated his services to haul away the debris. This year, thanks to a newly replaced railing along the pathway, only two shopping carts were found in the stream. Through the continued efforts of many hardworking volunteers, our local waterways will be cleaner and more enjoyable. Aquatic and riparian habitat and water quality are also improved when we keep litter out of our streams.
