2/10/2021

Two creek cleanup events were held on Beargrass Creek Saturday, January 30, 2021.

The Butchertown Neighborhood Association organized their cleanup event on Beargrass Creek at the Karen Lynch Park next to the Beargrass Flood Pumping Station. Huge thanks to Joe Bringardner and Michael Logsdon of Butchertown Neighborhood Association who helped to make this event a huge success. Four trucks were donated by volunteers and a total of seven truckloads of trash and debris were removed.

The Friends of the Forecastle Foundation organized a cleanup in Cherokee Park near Big Rock, a popular location for recreation. A special thank you to the #naturallyawesome Sylvia Holden, Kassi Cawood, Jerry Scrogham, and Liz Vail for making this happen.
