Kem Morawski, John Melle, and Sudeep Bhatia show the initial collection. Then it grew.... Burnt Mills, 4/10/21.
Dismayed by Ed Murtagh's video of largely street runoff litter, NNWB members Kem Morawski, Anne Ambler, and Scott Zillmer joined Ed in de-littering both sides of the NWB downstream of Colesville Rd. The action greatly improved, at least temporarily, this otherwise beautiful area. The cleanup was a spur-of-the-moment affair, not an official MoCo Parks cleanup, so we used our own equipment.

One of several dams created in the NWB by fallen trees catching woody debris, leaves, mud, and trash. We assumed that hidden in that debris would be lots of litter. Plucking it out and poking holes for the water to go through were our goals. Photo by A. Ambler, 11/14/20.

Pterosaurs evidently went extinct rather recently and can still be found when we do cleanups.
