WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING?
2024: LOWG members stay busy, from small cleanups to bigger activities.
Last March, member Stream Team #211 held its annual Arnold city cleanup; community and stream teamers spread out and removed trash from parks, roadsides and along the river shoreline. We also assisted Greenwood Cemetery Preservation Association with their continued work to cleanup and conserve a much neglected historical cemetery.
April, we returned to U.S. Fish and Wildlife's Cora Island to help Greenway Network with their annual event to remove flood trash the wildlife refuge, spent a weekend helping at the MO Stream Team booth at Earth Day 365 in Forest Park, and helped with annual water quality monitoring of Dardenne Creek.
LOWG members have also worked with area Scout troops and high school students with trash cleanups, given a class presentation on fly tying, and presented a display of stream macroinvertebrates at Sach's Butterfly House during their June 'Fireflies and Friends Festival.'
