| Roadside litter cleanup – RFF Adopt-A-Hwy project – was accomplished along Takelma Drive from Hwy 62 to the end of the pavement. It turned out to be a two-phase event. The original Jan 26th event was cancelled due to the weather (too much snow covering trash) but four people who didn’t get the cancellation notification showed up and it was decided to do a one-hour cleanup with Jack & Jan Rowe taking first prize with 25 lb of trash. For the Feb 9th event, nine volunteers took part in the cleanup work. Our sincere thanks and appreciation are extended to everyone who participated in this unpleasant but worthwhile event. |
