DuPage River Clean Up 2008

I wanted to share some of the photos from today's river clean up

The Scouts had to first carry the canoe about 2 blocks thru a tall grassy field.


After getting to the waters edge its time to get in and get wet the water temperature was around 60-65 degrees today




Then off to clean the northern part of the DuPage River.




Notice how empty the canoe is take a look at this next picture on the amount of garbage the Scouts pull from one part of the river.
