Beach Sweep / River Sweep 2017


On Sept. 17th, we hosted another Beach Sweep / River Sweep at Lake Thickety.   We have hosted these several times since 2007.   It is a statewide event with many groups and individuals participating.

Our target was Lake Thickety in NW Cherokee Co.   Over the course of 3 hours, we picked up quite a bit of trash.  Some of the most prominent items were plastic bottles and 2lb. propane tanks.  The most unusual item in my opinion was a almost full container of acid.

Every year I walk away angry and confused as to why people trash the environment the way they do..
