Annual Litter Pick-Up Along Deer Creek This Sunday

Some of you may remember Jennifer Fruend from the first RK benefit for
River des Peres Watershed Coalition...she was the representative there
who accepted the big check. She's a wonderful river supporter and
works hard to get her kids and families involved at Rohan Woods.

There is already a River des Peres Watershed cleanup on Saturday, but
if you can't make that one or want to do two in one weekend, here's
another opportunity as sent from Jen. They would love any help you
might be able to offer...and spread the word if you can!

The location to which she refers is one that RK have been to as
well...it's near the intersection of Marshall and Laclede Station...

Here's Jen's email:

Hi fabulous friends and families of Rohan Woods School!

I simply wanted to invite you all to join our annual spring Stream
Team Litter Pick-Up event this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or some
timeframe within there. We will pick up trash along Deer Creek in
Maplewood. A few adults or older groups may venture east of the park---
there is always a lot of trash along there. We are hoping to clear the
banks to make the invasive plant removal and native replanting event
there (April 25) even easier and eye-catching.

We will have a huge trash dumpster from MSD to fill!

Please let me know if you can join us---I'd like to make sure I have
enough gloves, fruit and water available for our helpers!
Thank you for not only helping St. Louis look better and be
healthier---but also every place downstream along Deer Creek, the
River Des Peres, the Mississippi and eventually the ocean!
