On
Monday March 7th RiverLink partnered with student group "Bear Breaks"
from Missouri State University to clean a section of Sweeten Creek. This was
the first project for the student's alternative spring break in Asheville.
They will continue to do projects with organizations such as GreenWorks
and others over the next few days.
Sweeten Creek flows directly into
the Swannanoa River and is notorious for being highly polluted. During this
service day students pulled heaps of scrap metal and wood out of the creek
along with inner tubes, hubcaps, and much more.
RiverLink will continue to work
with alternative spring break groups throughout the next few months. They will
conduct stream cleanups and invasive species removal throughout Buncombe County
and the French Broad River watershed.
