SVTU STREAM CLEANUP - SATURDAY APRIL 16th - LITTLE SENECA CREEK - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!

Monday, April 4th, 2011
TU Stream Clean-up Day - Little Seneca Creek
April 16, 2011  9:00AM - 1:00PM

For the 2nd consecutive year, SVTU is planning to participate in TU’s National Stream Clean-up Day.  This year we’ve teamed up with a local fraternity chapter to also observe The True Gentleman Day of Service (in conjunction with Global Youth Service Day).  Collegiate members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Maryland will be traveling out to meet us at Little Seneca Creek for this event.  Last year’s clean-ups (April & June) were huge successes.  Grab your work gloves and join us for a few hours of much needed labor on an often overlooked local stream.

For the adventurous souls, bring your waders and NON-FELT SOLED wading shoes to help retrieve any debris from the stream.

We’ll be based out of the parking lot near Seneca Lodge:

14500 Clopper Road, Boyds, MD

 

Park in the lot at the far end closest to the Stream. The Chapter will provide water, juice, coffee and bagels and donuts in the morning.  

So, if you can assist, please contact Jason Andrick, SVTU Chapter President, @ svtroutunlimited@gmail.com, Or, call him @ 240.389.FISH.

THANKS, AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE STREAM.
