Five ecowarriors turned out for Saturday’s Arakawa River clean up event at Yahiro and collected 87 bags of trash (79 actual bags + equivalent of 8 bags of large items). Turnout was light probably due to the short notice, but the result was big. Once again the weather was wonderful, and we finished the final stretch in that area after working on areas during past events. The previous areas had accumulated some more residual trash, so we should do this area at least one more time before the grass starts to grow.
