On July 27, 28 CleanScapes volunteers — including divers from Sunken Treasure Scuba Center — met at the Bald Eagle Creek access along Route 150 ready to remove debris from the creek bed.
This wasn’t the first cleanup of this waterway, but it proved fruitful.
After just a couple of hours, the volunteers managed to remove 92 tires and 1.12 tons (or 2,225 pounds) of trash.

Over the years, CleanScapes volunteers have accomplished several cleanup events on 13 miles of the creek. Prior to July 27, 1,639 tires and almost 22 tons of trash had already been removed.
CleanScapes in 2019 has held four events, bringing together nearly 120 volunteers who cleaned up more than 4 tons of debris from the floodplains and waterways of Clinton and Lycoming Counties.
More events are being planned. Watch for updates and learn how you can get involved here.
