Here's the energetic crew
from Flintridge Prep in La Caņada who cleaned up muck and mire in the
Arroyo Seco one recent Saturday. The students worked diligently
cleaning out the low flow streams in the Lower
Arroyo.
The Flintridge Prep
students met at 9 am on a Saturday morning in the parking lot of the
Rose Bowl Aquatic Center just south of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Then they loaded into the
City of Pasadena van to take them to the Lower Arroyo. That's Kyle
Wass, who organized the project, in sunglasses.
Gary Clemmons of Pasadena
Public Works instructed the crew on the task for the day: clean out the
muck and sediment in the weir of the low flow streams that flow through
the Lower Arroyo.
Team work is the key to
success, the group quickly learned as they cleared the rocks, mud and
debris from the stream.
Together the crew studies
the buildup of sediment and mud in the low flow streams just south of
the Colorado Street Bridge.
By the end of the morning,
the stream was ready to flow free again. Here's the energetic crew
that got the job done.
