The 
16th Annual Allegheny Reservoir Cleanup had long been scheduled for May 9, 2020 
when the coronavirus changed all our  
lives. Over the years, the Allegheny Reservoir Cleanup and its cousin, the Allegheny 
River Cleanup, have made a real difference in the Allegheny Reservoir and River, 
both ecologically and making these sites more beautiful for those who hike, swim, 
canoe, kayak, boat and otherwise enjoy these wonderful sites. These 
cleanups and hundreds like them around the country demonstrate how eager people 
are to contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more beautiful environment, so 
the planners wanted to find another way. And you know that where and when you 
have been able to get outside and exercise, your appreciation for the wonders 
of nature around you has only increased. 
  So, 
we decided to create a new place where people could share their accomplishments 
and see how each little bit adds up. Note that when you record a project that 
you've completed, you have the opportunity to tell a short version of your unique 
story - that funny garden sculpture you found standing on its head, the license 
plate from a state hundreds of miles away So 
 do your part, tell us about it here, and see how it all adds up!
