First year students from the Darden School (@ 35 plus professors) joined the youth group from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Ivy for a major clean up on the Rivanna at Free Bridge. For several hours on August 23, this group of nearly 50 young people pulled a sink, a car battery, a muffler, a metal bed frame and an air conditioning unit, plus hundreds of bottles, cans and debris from the River. One young person said “how can people trash this river with all this junk? Don’t they know that fish swim here and we drink this water…What are they thinking?”
Thanks to the organizers are Darden and St. Paul’s Ivy and thanks to all the young people who spent their Saturday morning caring for their community.
