On Mother’s Day afternoon at James S. Long Regional Park, six members of the Battlefield High School Environmental Club joined forces with five members
of the Prince William Trails and Streams Coalition to remove as much of the
old trash heap as possible in a three hour period. There was a quarter mile
to go from the trash site to the dumpster, with one Bobcat, one tractor, and
multiple smaller trailers and wheel barrels available to make the trip.
After work for the afternoon was finished, one roll-on/roll-off provided by
Cleve Benton and one dumpster provide by the PWCPA were filled with steel
and other trash items in addition to the four bags filled with recyclables.
We thank the students of Battlefield High School for their help in making
our parkland trails more beautiful.
