Clinton
County residents joined PA CleanWays and DCNR staff on November
7, 2004, to remove two tons of lawn chairs, tires, bedsprings
and other household items from several sites, one spilling into
Drury Run, a stream located adjacent to SR 144, north of Renovo.
As volunteers filled trash bags, DCNR employees loaded up their
trucks and used a front end loader to fill a Wayne Township
dumpster.
"The efforts
of PA CleanWays and our many volunteers has had a positive effect
on our efforts to eliminate illegal dumping in Sproul,"
Sproul District Forester Doug D'Amore said.
Through DCNR's
Forest Lands Beautification Program, PA CleanWays has coordinated
nine cleanups in Sproul State Forest, removing 319 tons of debris
and 2,273 tires. Today those nine sites remain trash free and
are a welcome sight for the public to enjoy.
