Reservoir Cleanup on May 9

The Allegheny National Forest (NF) is once again organizing the popular shoreline clean-up of the Allegheny Reservoir on Saturday, May 9, 2009. Pre-registration at 814/728-6163, will be accepted until Thursday, May 7. Pre-registration is required. Volunteers are to meet at the Elijah Run Boat Launch by 8:30 a.m. Volunteers should dress for the weather as the clean-up will be held rain or shine. The work should be completed by 4:00 p.m.

Pre-registration will also be accepted by email at nwelker@fs.fed.us. Organized volunteer groups, such as Boy and Girl Scouts, and individual volunteers are encouraged to pre-register and plan a day of fun while cleaning up the reservoir and protecting the environment. “It gets better each year,” said Nathan Welker, the event organizer.

All volunteers must sign a volunteer agreement. Parental consent and adult supervision is required for any person under the age of 18. All volunteers need to bring a lunch, drinking water, and gloves, and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes or boots.
