Project Clean Stream 2013 is here! Saturday, April 6th
Project Clean Stream is a regional-scale cleanup sponsored by Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay. This year the Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy is coordinating the clean up on the Midshore. The Miles, Wye and Choptank Rivers flow directly into the Chesapeake Bay. That means your help on our Midshore Rivers not only improves our local environment but your impact stretches from here all the way out to the Atlantic Ocean.
So we ask you to pull on your waders and gloves, grab a trash bag, and head out to your neighborhood stream as part of this wonderful annual stream cleanup event held across Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay region. In 2012, over 4,600 volunteers turned out at 214 clean-up sites and removed over 244,000 pounds of trash!
Throughout Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne’s and Talbot County there are twenty – three Project Clean Stream Sites, with nine of these requiring extra volunteers. Details of the sites that require extra volunteers are below:
