Bidwell Park and Creeks of Chico Cleanup 2007Thanks to the energetic crowd of dedicated volunteers that spent Saturday, September 16th at Butte Environmental Council’s Bidwell Park and Creeks of Chico Cleanup 2007, we removed nearly 10,000 lbs. of trash and recyclables from Bidwell Park and Comanche, Little Chico, Big Chico, Lindo Channel, and Sycamore Creeks. We found refrigerators, mattresses, TVs, computers, car batteries, tires, and lots of glass beer bottles in our beautiful park and waterways. Here's a breakdown of what removed from Bidwell Park and Chico's creeks:
BEC deeply appreciates the numerous sponsors, businesses and community groups that made the event possible:
Nearly 150 volunteers toiled over four hours to make our wildlands healthy, enjoyable places for the community and our animal friends to dwell in. We encourage you to strive to keep Bidwell Park and our all our waterways clean throughout the year, and since it continues to be necessary, to join your neighbors next fall when we return to host the Bidwell Park and Creeks of Chico Cleanup 2008. Hope to see you there! Thank You to Our Clean-up Sponsors!BEC deeply appreciates the numerous sponsors that made the event possible:
