"This was the
best LEAP yet!" said a volunteer after another successful
clean-up along Nimishillen Creek in the City of Louisville and
Nimishillen Township.
The Nimishillen
Creek Watershed Partners would like to thank the over 40
volunteers and event sponsors for making the September 22
Creek LEAP another successful event. Over 20 tires
were removed and enough trash to fill up a 10-yard
trash bin. The most interesting item removed from
Nimishillen Creek was a full size
trampoline. But what made this event unique from
previous LEAPs was the removal of 4 log jams that were
causing local flooding and water quality problems.
Special thanks to the
Stark Parks for assisting with log jam removals.
The
Watershed Partners
were able to hold such a successful event thanks largely to
the support from LEAP Sponsors. These
sponsors, listed at the bottom of the
page, covered all the event costs including equipment
and supplies like dumpsters, trash hauling, rakes, shovels,
gloves, trash bags, food and beverage. Below are some
pictures of the 2007 Creek LEAP provided by Bryan Daniels, Pam
Feagler, and NEFCO.
