Margrit, Tracy, and Roy at the end of the 2016 Mecoque saga
The morning of Saturday, April 23, our intrepid team of four (Roy Fudge, Tracy Hatfield, Margrit Robinson, and Stephen Sollows) descended on the 3 – Km. Chemin de Mecoque, which runs from Hubbards Point to Abrams River. The weather cooperated, over three hoursand the team collected thirty bags of garbage, and one bag of recyclables, which have gone to one of our town refundable collectors. A propane tank, three tar buckets, and a few other assorted bits of stuff also got collected and deposited at the entrance to the former burn site on the road. Besides this, there was a large dump of construction waste deposited on the north side of the road.
Many thanks to all who did the job; it should net TREPA $525 dollars.
This may be a good time to share a thought with decision-makers. A couple of years back, video cameras mounted on our C.R.K. Allen Nature Reserve caught three ATV’s crossing a stream and romping along our shoreline. The culprits were identified and paid substantial fines, and last year, incursions were substantially down.
Could something similar help combat roadside littering?
