Stella area roads and rivers, Saturday, March 12, 2005, Clean UP
This is a f irst! All local residents have been alerted and asked to join us. Everybody else, please help too!
This has been published in The Daily News, The Tideland News, The Carteret News-Times and The Jones Post.
We need everyone to participate to make The White Oak River the cleanest in the State. What is discarded on the roads is washed into the rivers.
North Carolina Coastal Federation has graciously notified all recipients by US MAIL in The Stella PO District.
The plan is we will clean up all roads in the morning from 9:00 to 12:00. We will meet at Boondocks on the White Oak River at Stella. This is also next door to the Post Office. We will have bags, pick up sticks, gloves and orange safety vests for you provided by NCDOT.
We will ask all to volunteers to sign up with NCDOT in their Adopt-A-Highway Program to keep the roads clean in the future. Remember; "If no one litters, there will be no litter". That is our goal.
We will picnic at 12:00. Courtesy of Scott Grafton of Boondocks. Bring your own food and drinks please.
In the afternoon, about 1:00 we will launch our canoes and kayaks and clean up Webb Creek and the White Oak River. Motor boats are welcome too and can take the trash from the kayakers. Canoes and kayaks can launch from Boondocks but there is no ramp for trailer launching here. You will have to come up from down river or down river from Haywood Landing.
The Izaak Walton League, White Oak River Chapter, is the main sponsor of this event joined by Stewards of The Whte Oak River Basin and The Young Marines of Swansboro. We also have members of The New River Foundaton coming up from Jacksonville to join us. Keep Onslow Beautiful and Keep America Beautiful are also participating and have furnished anti litter material. All fishermen and hunters are invited also. Come one, come all, if you love the White Oak River.
Please, everyone, come and join us and help us make the White Oak River watershed trash free and beautiful as Mother Nature has made it.
