Some 20 folks participated in a Skeetkill Creek Marsh cleanup, sponsored by the Meadowlands Conservation Trust,  which owns and maintains this lovely 16.3-acre marsh in Ridgefield.

In addition to roughly 30 garbage bags of trash, the volunteers removed a few tires, a plastic milk crate or two, a discarded (propane?) cannister, and a 10-foot pole, with which we wouldn't touch some of that trash if we weren't wearing gloves. 

The Ridgefield Environmental Commission was a  huge help as well.

Great job by all!  The Meadowlands Conservation Trust passes along its gratitude.
