Green Up Day 2007 - Follow Up

Walloomsac River, Bennington, VT

A small, hard working group of dedicated SWVT TU members partnered with friends to haul
approximately 50 large garbage bags and several pick-up truck loads full of scrap metal out of the
Walloomsac River, in Bennington, VT on Friday, May 4th, 2007.

The group's haul consisted of several rusted bicycles, multiple shopping carts, numerous carpets,
towels and clothing, heavy duty plastic tarps, scrap lumber and contruction debris, countless
plastic, glass and aluminum cans and bottles, hunks of dangerous rusty metal junk, plastic worm
containers, a toilet, bicycle and car tires, and much, much more out of the water and streamside
vegetation, and from the roadside access points from the Woodford town office on Rt 9 east of town,
downstream to the stateline.

The weather cooperated and we had a great day for this clean up project. All who participated were
happy to have been a part of the overall Green Up Vermont effort. Next year, we'll try again to get
participation and possibly work to clean up multiple streams.
