Last Saturday, the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee, in partnership with Fountain Creek Watershed District, hosted its annual Creek Week Cleanup. Creek Week is the largest watershed cleanup effort statewide, and we focus on the section of Fountain Creek between Woodland Park and Crystola. With a big team of capable volunteers, this year's effort was a great success! Together, we collected 560 pounds (0.28 tons) of garbage from the creekbed! That's 560 lbs that won't travel downstream. 560 lbs that won't harm wildlife. 560 lbs of waste that was properly disposed of. 👏♻
We're grateful to our community sponsors, who help ensure our cleanups are well-supported. We couldn't do it without Apex Waste - Teller County, who generously provided a dumpster. Safeway of Woodland Park made an in-kind donation that was used to provide refreshments for our volunteers. Java Haus CO donated piping-hot coffee, a welcome treat on a cool fall morning. THANK YOU all for supporting our mission and work - we appreciate you!
