Taking Back Our Country!

51st Street Canyon Clean Up –

Over several days in May and June the Alpha Project helped us clean the 51st Street Canyon area. Homeless people had set up encampments in this area. Our goal was to remove illegal dumps and camps that have accumulated in the canyons and the creek. Alpha Project worked diligently removing the encampments, cleaning up the creek (which is an arduous process due to environmental concerns), and removing the dreaded arrundo donax plant which is a large bamboo-like plant that chokes other plants and takes over creeks, rivers, and streams. They also removed other non-native plants growing in the area.

Alpha Project is a wonderful organization with whom I’ve worked and supported for years. If you aren’t familiar with them, please click here
