On Saturday September 12, 1998 Acton Stream Team volunteers helped clean
stream areas along Butter Brook @ Route 27, Coles Brook on the Auto Auction
property, Conant Brook @ Newtown Road, and Fort Pond Brook by the dam along
River Street. The weather was wonderful, the poison ivy was thick, and
the volunteers were enthusiastic and hard working. A great blue heron and
other wildlife were observed
during the course of the cleanup. The debris that was removed from the
stream areas included numerous car parts (such as mufflers and pipes, five
hubcaps, a headlamp, seven tires, and the grillwork from an old car),two,six-to-seven
foot carved wooden business signs, a shopping cart, other metal debris,
a two-foot model train, a horseshoe, two large plastic buckets, about ten
large bags of bottles and cans, and about fifteen bags of fast food containers,
styrofoam cups, plastic bags, and other miscellaneous litter. |
