On Saturday, March 17, the Friends of the Appomattox River conducted a Spring Waterways Cleanup which included parts of the Appomattox River System, Buffalo

Creek, Briery Creek Reservoir, Sandy River Reservoir, Gross Creek and the Wilck’s Lake area. Fifteen FAR members were assisted by seven Hampden-Sydney students.

The group collected 25 bags of trash along with two bicycles, construction materials, an ironing board, aluminum stool, a dollar bill and a plastic bucket, totaling approximately 700 pounds.

The Town of Farmville provided trash containers and disposal. Pictured are, from left, Lee Woodruff, Suzanne Crouse, Michael Kubats, Warren Rofe, Tom Crouse, Sandy Heinemann, Chuck Green, Libby Blanton, Louisa Blair, Robin Sedgewick, Joe McCutchen, Sam Martin and Faye Green.
