January 10 2026 Trail Cleanup Neuse River Trail

The event was attended by a total of 5 enthusiastic adults, who brought their experience and commitment to environmental stewardship, and 6 dedicated scouts, eager to contribute to their community and learn about the importance of keeping natural spaces clean. Together, this group worked diligently throughout the day, focusing on a designated area that had been identified as needing attention. Their efforts were not in vain, as they successfully collected an impressive total of 8 bags of litter. This litter consisted of various items, ranging from plastic bottles and wrappers to discarded paper and other debris that had accumulated over time. Each bag filled represented not only a physical contribution to the cleanliness of the environment but also a valuable lesson for the scouts in teamwork, responsibility, and the impact of pollution on their surroundings. The adults guided the scouts, sharing insights on proper waste disposal and recycling practices, thereby enriching the experience and fostering a deeper understanding of environmental issues among the younger participants.
