Volunteers Clean Up Herbert Run

A dozen volunteers rallied by Friends of Patapsco Valley and Heritage Greenway spent several hours on Oct. 1 removing trash and debris from a stretch of Herbert Run through Arbutus.

Attending to a section of Herbert Run near Southwestern Boulevard behind the parking lot, the group collected about 440 pounds of frash, including a beach umbrella, fluorescent light bulbs, baby diapers, a fire extinguisher, underwear and rainbow socks, many beer and liquor bottles, and numerous plastic bags hanging in trees and tangled in foliage.

Members of the Arbutus Improvement Association participated as well.
