Buckets for the River Banks!

Buckets for the River Banks!

October 11

10 AM – 1 PM

@ The YES! House

By my dads example I learned – when fishing – take a “trash” bucket in – take a “trash” bucket out. Littering the riverfront and other natural spaces was not acceptable. This is a message worth sharing. And as with anything lasting – it takes a village!

Join Nicole Zempel for a CCT “hang-out” Saturday, October 11th – 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Let’s Talk Trash and work on creative solutions together to help keep our riverfronts free of fishing refuse and other litter.

 

Swing in any time between 10 and 1 AND… 

  1. SAMPLE A DELICOUS RECIPE FEATURING BASS (recipe card to take if you love this dish as much as I do) -  (Bring a recipe card to share of your favorite fish recipe – which will be used as part of a creative campaign to help encourage NO LITTERING)

  2. SHARE IDEAS OF HOW TO HELP KEEP OUR RIVERFRONTS AND NATURAL SPACES FREE OF TRASH

  3. BRING A BUCKET TO DECORATE ( PREFERABLY 5 gallon - MORE DETAILS WHEN YOU ARRIVE) – IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU

  4. LEARN MORE ABOUT FUTURE TRASH CLEAN-UP EFFORTS – BEGINNING WITH SAT OCT 18th AT Memorial Park

  5. ALSO ON DISPLAY will be some interesting finds during past clean-ups

 

We hope to decorate a large number of 5 gallon buckets with positive messages about keeping our riverfront clean and safe for wildlife and humans alike. These bright buckets will be placed strategically in heavily fished areas. People can take a bucket and keep and use!
