Clean Streams Day

Clean Streams Day is coming June 7th. We live in the French Broad Watershed and every neighborhood in Asheville and Buncombe has a stream in it... create your community by getting a group together and cleaning up your neighborhood stream. Quality Forward will provide cleanup supplies, all we need is you! Pick up supplies at Quality Forward M-F 9am-5pm or at Southern Waterways (521 Amboy Rd Asheville 28806) 1-800-849-1970 on Sat, June 7th.

Thank you! That's great!

As Chairman of the River Clean-up campaign for the The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Western North Carolina, we have adopted the Reed Creek river area from Catawba Road across Broadway, thru the Botanical Gardens to the entrance to UNCA.

On June 7th, Ohio State Alumni from all over WNC met at the Botanical Gardens for a 2 1/2 hour clean-up of this particular area of Reed Creek. 13 bags of trash, a bed, stove top, car seat, and other debris were removed from the Creek that flows in and through the Botanical Gardens.

We will continue our clean-up and monitoring of this part of the French Broad River basin. Look for us at our next clean up in the fall!
