Yankee Springs Township trash cleanup finds "a little less trash" this year

Individuals and groups of volunteers met at the Yankee Springs Township Fire Station Saturday, May 4 to take part in a trash clean up in the Barry State Game Area and the Yankee Springs Recreation Area in the township. Dauntless Jeepers members have volunteered for all four of the annual pickups.

 

Township Supervisor Mark Englerth has organized the effort since its inception.

“There was a little less trash this year, than last year,” he said. “I think we’re winning the war.”

He estimated the number of volunteers at 35.

“We had Randy Heinze from the Barry State Game Area; Andru Jevicks, from the Yankee Springs Recreation Area; State Rep. Julie Calley, County Commissioner Vivian Conner and John Norris, representing the Dauntless Jeepers and individuals from the community, and we thank them all,” he said.

Here are some scenes from the day’s work.
