FORSYTH CREEK WEEK
Despite some of the weather this year
over 900 citizens helped to clean up 6.4
tons of dumped trash as well as collect
176 lbs of unwanted medicine. More than
40 events occurred across the County to
provide opportunities for residents to
discover and explore water. A total of 9
rain barrels were sold to citizens. Each
year these rain barrels will capture
47,190 gallons but over the next 30 years
2,820 lbs of nitrogen could be removed
from stormwater runoff; currently offset
payments from polluters are valued at
$20.59 per pound of nitrogen. In total
2406 citizens participated in various
activities throughout the week (we counted
an online presence of 13000 unique hits)!Planting Party at the Park (23)
