SUMMARY:October Second Saturday Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register! \nIs there anything scarier than litter in our waterways? \nHelp us make the Burnt Mill Creek watershed a little cleaner\, and a lot less creepy\, during our monthly litter cleanup. \nWe will focus our efforts on three locations: the drainage easement that runs behind the Crossroads shopping plaza\, the southern continuation of that easement that runs behind Jackson’s BBQ and the Kerr Ave. artificial wetland\, just across the street. We will meet at a central staging location located in the parking lot of Crossroads Center. 894-1 S Kerr Ave\, Wilmington\, NC 28403 should get you to the right spot. \nCFRW and KNHB will bring the gloves\, pickers\, bags\, and safety vests—you bring your passion for clean water\, and your Halloween costume! If you have waterproof knee boots or waders\, please bring them\, we will need some folks to walk through the center of the ditch\, which typically has standing water. \nThe volunteer with the “trashiest” cleanup costume will receive a voucher for a free paddle boat ride on Greenfield Lake!

SUMMARY:November First Saturday Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Halloween may be over\, but the plastic lurking in our local waterways is not going anywhere—at least without your help!\n\n\nThis month’s seminar will explore how a bottle deposit system works and how a bottle bill here in North Carolina could help reduce some of the most common types of litter found in the Cape Fear River Basin\, and statewide\, while also increasing recycling rates and freeing up landfill space. Madison Haley will discuss the potential environmental and economic benefits of this bill and share updates on the ongoing campaign with the North Carolina Plastic Waste Coalition (which we are a part of!).\n\n\nJoin us before the seminar at 8 a.m. for free coffee and pancakes courtesy of our fall interns!
