Volunteer Shoreline Cleanup Sticks to Theme

A single word could sum up last Saturday’s RiverKeeper Spring Shoreline Cleanup of Ellicott Creek Park in Amherst, NY: Wet.

Wet weather, wet water, wet volunteers.

Rain and cold didn’t ‘t keep anyone away as VoIP Supply joined a large group of enthusiastic and caring volunteers to help with one of the many shoreline sweeps that RiverKeeper coordinates bi-annually throughout Western New York.

RiverKeeper is a science-based, community focused, advocacy organization from the Buffalo/Niagara region dedicated to keeping our waterways clean.

VoIP Supply was able to help gather around 100 pounds of garbage.  It’s amazing what you’ll find.  In addition to some big ticket items that were recovered, like refrigerators, we were told that there was an old amusement park ride rusting away deep in the park that would require some heavy lifting.
