2015 Clean Virginia Waterways

I don't know for how many years the Friends group has been participating in Clean Virginia Waterways, but I've been site captain now for three years, taking over for Joel Webber before me.  We had a small turnout today, perhaps because the weather wasn't appealing.  It was okay, though, no rain, just a now-and-then cool breeze.  Still, the volunteers collected about five bags of litter.  Our only watercraft cleanup members, the Keys, filled two bags and said they would be back for more.  It's a never-ending task, but one that needs to be done.  One of the volunteers took advantage of his litter scavenging walk to take photographs of birds and fungus.  One of the advantages of doing this "work" as a volunteer is that we are free to work at our own pace and to allow ourselves to "stop and smell the roses".
