Arakawa River clean up April 16, 2023
Seventeen volunteers turned for today’s Arakawa River clean up event at Funabori and collected 23 bags of trash. We ran into several problems today that led to a lower than usual collection. Mainly that was the tide being high and limiting areas where we could clean. Most participant were newcomers and didn’t have the right boots to get into the water, so we tried cleaning on the pods, which was a bit tougher cleaning but still necessary. Then a beautiful day all morning turned into some light rain just as we got started and then some lightning in the distance, so that delayed things we waited out the storm to pass for an hour under the highway.
