Litter Clean Ups
Over the years, Hillsdale Water Quality Project volunteers collected truckloads of trash from the Hillsdale Watershed, Johnson County, and the Marais des Cygnes Basin. The litter clean up events provide participants the opportunity to reduce pollution and the damaging effects of litter on local streams. Volunteer clean up efforts create a better environment and water quality for the community, wildlife, and plants. Communities' combined efforts help constitute a better knowledge of developing goals to maintain an important and viable drinking water source
for now and in the future.
