Friends of Little Rocky Run 4/6/03 - Fairfax County's Community Labor Force Cleans the Wetland

Fairfax County's Community Labor Force is an invaluable asset to organizations dedicated to cleaning up their watersheds and other projects as well.  Our experience with them on Sunday, April 6th, could not have been more positive.  All of the participants worked hard and some of them bordered on gung-ho, picking up trash that most people would have pretended they didn't see.  Like 55 gallon drums and car hoods. The CLF's brochure is available for you to read by clicking here.  We recommend them without reservation. Some of these good people are pictured below, led by PFC Alma Ours.  They scoured two areas.  First they cleaned the LRR wetland area on the north side of U. S. 29.  This area is particularly muddy and full of brambles.  It would have been hard to find anyone else who would have done this job.  Second, they cleaned the nasty ditches along the south side of U. S. 29.  They hauled out a total of 30 bags in addition to the aforementioned offal. Then on May 4, 2003  they came again and begain cleaning the tributary that flows under the intersection of New Braddock Road and Union Mill Road.  They hauled out 42 bags of trash and various other debris.
