The Allegheny Aquatic Alliance is organizing the Connoquenessing Creek Clean Up on Saturday.
Teams will be dispersed along the Connoquenessing Creek — Conni — starting at McKim Way, across the creek from Riverside High School, and ending at Rock Point, where the Conni meets the Beaver River.
Registration for the clean up day begins at 8 a.m. at First Baptist Church, 220 Fountain Ave. in Ellwood City. From 8 to 9 a.m., teams will be assigned, supplies and snacks will be dispersed and a safety talk will be conducted. Teams typically start removing garbage from the creek around 10:30 a.m.
Lunch, snacks, beverages, work gloves and t-shirt provided.
Cleanup needs: volunteers, rope, chains, tarps, pry bars, chainsaws, sledgehammers, metal ladders, washing stations, tin-cutters, hip waders, pressure washers, and brush cutters/weed eaters.
