Spring 08 Sweep A Great Success

Congratulations to the more than 800 volunteers who rolled up their sleeves on April 19th to clean up the litter and trash from the Buffalo and Niagara watersheds. These stewards of our rivers removed an estimated 60,000 lbs. of trash. Altogether 31 sites were covered including over a mile stretch of the Buffalo River in south Buffalo and the entire aboveground stretch of Scajaquada Creek in the City of Buffalo. Thanks to our sponsors and volunteer groups:
