As you can see, we found some of them improved, but there was ample room for further improvement. For example at the Azalea City Trail on One Mile branch above Lee Street, where trash was tumbling down into the creek.

We are aware there have been some changes since then. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, there are many pictures below.
