Members Bamboozle Posted February 6, 2012 Members Posted February 6, 2012 Several local volunteers, plus an awesome group of teenagers and folks from as far away as Springfield and Kansas City got together yesterday to clean up the new ground MDC has purchased. Numerous tires came out of the creek (maybe 30!!) as well as about 20 bags of litter and lots of random old metal debris. Was really gratifying to see some folks -- including a few (but too few!) anglers -- giving something back to the creek! Kudos to SW Missouri Fly Fishers, Crane City Councilman Kyle Bentley, and MDC Streams Coordinator Shane Bush for organizing and participating in the clean up! We even had a visit from Crane Mayor Collin Brannon. Biggest kudos to the kids from a local group home who did by far the most work and made a huge contribution to making our stream beautiful!
Outside Bend Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Very cool, glad to see things like this happening on our Ozark streams! <{{{><
Buzz Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I looked for you all Sunday, but didn't see anyone. It was a little later though. I would have liked to stop in for a little while and helped out. You had agreat turnout and a lot of good work was done. Congrats. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
Justin Spencer Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Great job to everyone involved, guess we all need to get out from behind our computer screens and do a little work to help the waterways we enjoy!
