Greenway Network Inc. Clean Stream 2010

Meet at Barathaven Trailhead 8:30 a.m.

 On Saturday March 27, volunteers from St. Charles County, Greenway Network, and the communities of Cottleville, Dardenne Prairie, Lake St. Louis, O’Fallon, St. Charles and Wentzville will need your help to remove trash from local streams and lakes. The last time Operation Clean Stream mobilized in St. Charles County, roughly 600 volunteers pulled over 28,000 pounds of trash from Dardenne, Peruque, Belleau, Spencer and Cole Creeks. 

Once again the Stream Trash ART (START) project will run in conjunction with the stream cleaning.  This project, created by Greenway Network project director Ralph Rollins, salvages metal pulled from the streams and uses it to create new works of art.  Local artists will be working at some of the lunch sites to create works of art from materials found that day.  Look for local works to be on display in your community throughout February and March.
