Kickapoo River Cleanup Nets Nearly 2 Tons of Trash On Saturday April 30th 2005 Valley Stewardship Network (VSN), with the help of over 45 hard-working volunteers and many generous sponsors, cleared litter and debris from the banks and main channel of the Kickapoo River along the 6-mile stretch of river from Readstown to Soldiers Grove. Some roadside cleanup was done as well. This dedicated group collected 3,850 pounds of trash. Among the stuff collected were 51 tires, 5 TVs, 2 microwaves, a car fender, a clothes line with poles, along with lots of containers and litter that never should have been there. The wild flowers along the river, the hot lunch with live music, VSN thank you T-shirts, and the break in the cool / wet weather made the day a lot of fun. VSN hopes to plan cleanups along other stretches of the Kickapoo in the future. Valley Stewardship Network is very appreciative of the great enthusiasm of the volunteers and the wonderful support by the community of sponsors who donated cash, supplies or services. They included Crooked River Resort
