Sorting trash collected from under the Carmel River bridge at Highway One. Three hundred pounds of trash was picked up from this location. A little further up river another thirty-two pounds of trash plus two pounds of recyclable waste was collected. Eleven volunteers were at this site including Laura Kasa from Save Our Shores, Dale McCauley from Carmel Valley Association, Paul Carota from Odello Fields and students from CSUMB and MPC.

Trash collected from the river environs near the Little League Field in Carmel Valley. Fourteen volunteers at this site including Frank Emerson and Brian LeNeve and several more from the Carmel River Steelhead Association, Marie Butcher of Greenheart Works, Mary Cunov, and Mibs McCarthy from Carmel Valley Association.
More pics to come from the Mid Valley site! Twenty-two volunteers at this site! 
A very successful day for  the Carmel River. Just think though...the best place for trash is in the garbage can or recycle instead of the river or surrounding land! Many thanks to all who made this such a success for our first World Rivers Day event!
