Take ownership of a 4th District resource!
Friends of the Mill Pond & Oak Creek Watercourse have scheduled the fall cleanup for 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. The designated clean-up area is from North Chicago Avenue to Rawson Avenue.
Volunteers are needed to clean trash and debris from selected areas along the watercourse. Some of the items previously found (along with common trash) removed are: shopping carts, a plastic slide, a pay phone, tires, tire rims, crutches, bike tires, batteries, assorted balls and toys, a tricycle, fire extinguisher, jacket, container of oil, pieces of plywood and a street barricade.
Safety vests, bags, bottled water and vinyl gloves are provided to participants. Volunteers are urged to bring tall boots if they have them.
