Legacy Tire Clean-up with CCRRA and local volunteers

On Saturday, December 16th, 9 volunteers worked with the landowner and two CCRRA employees to clean up an old tire dump site in the Bald Eagle Valley. The site was located about 1/3 mile from the Soaring Ridge Wetland project. This cleanup was complicated by access and the fact that most of the tires were larger truck tires. An excavator and dump-trailer were used to expedite loading and unloading. In the end, 3 roll-offs of tires and 1 roll-off of scrap metal were filled. CCRRA coordinated the proper disposal of these materials and reported a total weight of 27,420 pounds and 153 tires for the cleanup.

Amongst the participants were several conservationalists working to create the Bald Eagle Conservancy (see the link above to a draft flyer describing their vision).

A special thanks to Triangle True Value Rental of Bellefonte for a discounted rental rate on the dump trailer used.
