Canal Clean Up!

Armed with our "grabbers" the youth picked up lots of trash.

You can rest assured that the bike path along the Cape Cod Canal is a much cleaner place after the Canal Clean-up last Saturday.  JWUMC Youth Group joined forces with a couple dozen other community groups to help Americorp pick up trash and accomplish other service projects throughout the area.

Our group was responsible for about two full bags of trash!  It was a lot of walking, but there were plenty of snacks and we even got pizza for lunch!

But the highlight of the trip was probably finding some crabs beside the canal before we even got started picking up trash.  Thanks to everyone who helped out, and for those of you that weren't able to make it, Americorp will be having this event again next year and we are surely going to participate.  Happy Earth Day everyone!
