A Job Well Done - 2011 Stream Cleanup |
On Saturday, May 7th club members rounded out a total of 50 volunteers who came out to the west branch of Chester Creek in Aston for the 2011 Chester-Ridley-Crum Watersheds Association's stream cleanup day. Chapter members Al and Matt "the muscle" Edinger, Greg Shaffer, Ed Collier, Paul Fedeli and his son Ben were joined in the stream by two other volunteers in waders. Paul's wife and daughter joined a large contingent of volunteers working the stream bank and the adjacent Louis Fisher Memorial Park. |

A little later, Ed Collier got the word and pitched in with fresh muscles just at the right time. Everyone worked hard, but we were able to finish the job in less than 2 hours of working time. |
