Stewards of the White Oak River Basin Current Events

We were so intrigued with this adventure last time that we are going back again and see how far up we can go past the Big Cypress Trees. There is plenty of deep water if we can clear a trail through the blown down trees and make this beautiful river usable.

Dale Weston is bringing our chain saw. More chain saws would be welcome. Clippers and hand saws of all kinds welcome. Also a "come along" could be helpful.

We will meet at 9:00 at Emmett's Lane Bridge and plan on taking out at 3:00 at the same place.

There should be no trash at all to pick up. We'll see! Come and join us. Elmer

My picture was taken by Bert Bilodeau of The New River Foundation at the Enviro Fair in Jacksonville on Saturday.
The Trashman is trying to get all littering stopped at the source before it happens. What we are doing now is a failure. Our leaders and the Public have got to face this. If no one litters there will be no litter. "Pay as you go" is not the answer. That will only induce more illegal dumping. Look at tires. When we charged 2.00 they ended up in our rivers, forests and farmlands by the thousands! When we included the cost of disposal in the price if the tire there were no more tires illegally dumped that any other large item.
