Ropes, Shipping Crates, Rusted Propane Tanks.... Astounding Discoveries Lead To Lessons Learned

  Group #2 from Stone Elementary were a great group of 5th grade students!  They were lucky enough to clean up the first South side site, site #3.  This site required a hike across the island twice, on a very warm September day!  I really give these kids credit, they did a great job!
  Our first encounter with large debris was not too far along in our journey to the mid-point of the island.  As you can see in the picture above, these crates were far too large to bring back with us, so we marked this spot with the GPS.  These kids really did a great job, by the end of the day, everyone's bags were full and it was just warming up!  

  We ended up collecting a total of 103.62 lbs of debris, great work guys!  As you can see from the picture above, this was no day in the park for these youngsters.  They persevered through all the environmental factors and collected a lot of large debris like the rope in the picture.  The rope weighed 15 lbs by itself!  I was extremely happy with their efforts and am really glad that these kids are our future!  Keep up the good work guys and ,one day, we may not have the same problems we have today.
