The weather was lousy, pure and simple. Although that factor kept away some volunteers, those hearty souls that did show managed to remove as much trash from the river and its banks as other years. TU chapter volunteers from around the state descended on the Musconetcong watershed to help our partner, the Musconetcong Watershed Association with their annual river clean up. In most years our clean ups bring well over 400 volunteers from all walks of life, and TU supplies many of those each year. Because our members all own waders, we focus on removing debris in the river and on its banks while groups like Scouts and others without waders clean the roads nearby where all the trash will eventually find itself to the river.

Here are some pictures from today’s clean up:

Thanks to all who came out to help in less than nice weather. We saw a nice BWO hatch going on at the former Seber Grove dam site. It’s mayfly season!
