Operation Clean Stream Sat. Aug. 28th

Operation Clean Stream: Saturday August 28th

The MWA members will assist Operation Clean Stream in the cleanup of the Meramec River on Saturday August 28th. We will clean the section of river from Sappington Bridge put-in to the boat ramp at Meramec State Park. This is a fun family float along with a good way to keep the river clean. Bring trash bags and gloves. All paddle craft are welcome. We will meet at Sappington bridge put-in at 9:00 AM and arrange our shuttles. We should be off the river by 2:30 PM. The Operation Clean Stream people will provide a BBQ at the park pavilion after we get off the river. Call or e-mail Mark Wehking if you plan on attending so we can have a head count for the BBQ and T-shirt sizes. Mark’s e-mail is (mcwehking@accessus.net) and his phone number is 636-391-9753.
