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!
