"5.10.12 Patapsco River Orange Grove Cleanup With Hammond Middle School : The Patapsco Heritage Greenway sponsored a cleanup along the Patapsco River in the Orange Grove Area of Patapsco State Park, partnering with Hammond Middle School as part of the 7th grade student service learning project. A total of 125 volunteers removed 596 pounds of trash and 196 pounds of invasive garlic mustard in just two hours from the Patapsco River watershed!! Aside from the usual bottles, cans, plastic bags and food wrappers we usually find in our cleanups (washed down storm drains from litter in the streets and parking lots), some of the more interesting items removed included: 8 car tires, a wood pallet, 3 large wood planks, a ""Congested Area"" road sign, fencing, a flip flop, a rusted Virginia license plate, a fishing net, a bike tire, 3 feet of aluminum sheeting, Rebar, various car parts, broken glass, caution tape, a pair of pants, pipes, pieces of hard plastic and a lot of invasive garlic mustard was pulled! Volunteers even discovered the nest of a Canadian goose and a few snakes! Congratulations to Mr. Graf's Team who was the winner of all the student groups by removing an amazing 226 pounds of trash (and is featured on this site). Congratulations to Mr. Goody's Team who was the winner of all the student groups by removing an impressive 37 pounds of invasive garlic mustard. Also congratulations to Mrs. Furman's Team who was the winner of all the student groups by removing the most pieces of trash – 94! Special thanks to Teacher Jennifer Furman, who organized this year's service learning cleanup project and the PHG Stream Captain Team who helped run the event including: Betsy McMillion, Jeff Klein, Pete McCallum, Kathy Swan, Chris Fiorito, Cathy Hudson, Jim Apgar and Van Wensil. We're so grateful to everyone who made today's cleanup a big success, and to our park rangers who removed the trash for us!!!"
