Kaw River Cleanup
Almost 100 volunteers gathered Saturday, March 11, at a remote spot along the Kaw River south of Linwood, Kan. Their purpose was to clean up about 1,000 old tires littering a sandbar. The project was organized by Friends of the Kaw and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Helping out were 46 employees from AMCOR, a Lenexa plastics manufacturing plant.
Volunteers Ellyn Owen of Baldwin, left, and Susie Nightingale of Lawrence struggle to roll a tire to one of the gathering spots on the sandbar. Both women were from the Environmental Stewardship Team at Lawrence's Trinity Episcopal Church. The tires were difficult to move because many were packed with mud and sand.
