It was a hot, Wednesday in September when the third group from Stone Elementary School came out to clean up site #1 on Deer Island. These kids pushed through the heat of the day and collected a good amount of trash!
Many of the items that we collected that day included very small plastic fragments, cigarette butts, light bulbs and many different styrofoam products. We collected many different articles of clothing, fly swatters and flip flops!
This group did a great job in working their way down the half mile long stretch of beach, even in the presence of such obstacles as the Great Blue Heron pictured above! I guess he wanted to come and thank us for a job well done, no more plastic for dinner Mr. Heron.
We collected a total of 169.76 lbs, the majority (46%) was treated wood!
Thank you so much for all your hard work kids! You did a great job in making our coast a cleaner place =)
