Another Round at Indian Creek
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the National Guard, friends of Jefferson
County Park, the City of Fairfield, the Sierra Club and other local
groups, and neighborhood volunteers in the second inspired cleanup
effort of Fairfieldıs Indian Creek, Saturday, September 27, 2003.
Come anytime between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM to the wood chip pile on West
Jefferson St., behind Econo Foods.
Last April, to give you a sample, with the help of the Guard and three
dozen volunteers, we extracted 80 tires, one car, a truck bed, two
washing machines, car batteries, storm door and childrenıs slide, and we
filled dozens of trash bags.
The stream, known locally as Indian Creek, runs underground its first
third of a mile from Dexter Foundry. The culvert opens to daylight just
south of the Cityıs wood chip pile, and it is from this point downstream
where the years of neglect are apparent. The success of our first
cleanup brings our two-pronged goal within reach to restore health to
a stream, and uncover the natural beauty of our city.
Come equipped with gloves, boots, long pants and sleeves. We will
provide refreshments. For more information contact Jack Eastman at
641-469-5760.
