Big progress achieved at Crocker's Creek!

The Faribault Rotary Club was proud to partner with volunteers from River Valley Church on Saturday, July 10th to continue efforts in cleaning up the creek. Dr. Dick Huston has championed this project for many years and was very happy to have help on this day.
 
The creek section being worked on runs on the east side of the A&W restaurant to the west side of Burger King. The land was overgrown with buckthorn and vegetation, which was overtaking the natural prairie landscape.
 
The group could not have chosen a better day to work outside, as the temperature was cool and there were very few bugs out. A large section of the creek was able to be cleared and Rotarian Rod Mahler ended up buying burgers and root beer for 24 volunteers!
 
Rotary would like to thank Pastor Mark Kenney for his leadership in making this project part of the church’s annual Serve Day!

Thank you River Valley Church Volunteers!

Was I suppose to use the saw?
