A week before Excelsior Springs celebrated Waterfest, more than four dozen volunteers were helping to clean out the waterway that serves as the backbone for downtown Excelsior Springs.
More than 50 volunteers turned out Saturday, June 21, for a stream clean-up project conducted by the city of Excelsior Springs with help from the Missouri Department of Conservation. During this first clean-up of the East Fork and Dry Fork of the Fishing River, the workers dragged an astounding amount of junk from the river over a five-hour period from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
The crew collected 4,380 pounds of scrap steel from the river bed and banks, along with 1,440 pounds of other trash. A total of 32 tires were also removed and disposed of properly.
