2021 Blueridge Creek Cleanup

On September 26, 2021 – World River Day – a group of Blueridge neighbours organized by Susanne Mueller got together to remove garbage from Blueridge Creek. Despite the rain, they worked to remove debris from this charming little creek that flows past so many of our homes.

As Susanne wrote:

The creek that flows through our neighborhood might seem small and somewhat insignificant, but it is a stream that connects many of us. We can enjoy its sounds and the greenspace it provides on our runs, walks, or even in our backyards. Unfortunately it also becomes a garbage site for broken bottles, doggy bags, candy wrappers, and other things that are left behind. This creek provides habitat for small animals, plants and, in some parts, fish – all of which are having a tough time in our current climate. Anything we can do to help, helps!

This is becoming an annual event here in Blueridge. Here are a few photos to encourage everyone to join in next year!
