9.18 TONS of trash was removed by awesome volunteers at the 20th year of the Annual Floyds Fork Creek Sweep! Floyds Fork Environmental Association (FFEA) wants to thank the 125 who showed up to help; they made a very real difference! Some volunteers have participated every single year. Since 1991, 105 tons has been removed by volunteers! We traditionally hold the canoe/kayak outing and cleanup the first Saturday in June with the help of Councilmen Stuart Benson and Robin Engel. Everyone appreciated Greg Fischer taking time to be with us last year as a candidate and this year as our Mayor. Also, thanks to the media and photographers for showcasing some of the wonderful volunteers who performed such an amazing feat! There were many exciting stories shared about their adventure! FFEA encourages the public to practice proper disposal instead of using our waterway as a dump because it takes a lot of work and effort to remove items.
