Stream Clean-up on Esopus Creek

CMTU is hosting its annual stream cleanup event for the Esopus and its tributaries on Saturday, April 23rd between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.  All are welcome to come to help out!  There is still a lot of trash out there along the streams due to the Christmas 2020 flood.  Volunteers should meet out in front of Esopus Creel along Route 28 in Phoenicia to get trash bags and a map.  Everyone will then head out to clean up a section of stream.  When you are fishing, bring your trash back to Esopus Creel so that it can be taken to a transfer station.  If you have a truck and would be willing to help out with the trash delivery, please email catskillmountaintu@gmail.com.  CMTU will have gloves, trash bags, and water available for volunteers.
