Davie Residents to Participate in 17th Annual Waterway Clean-Up By Debby Teich
T
he message is clear. Davie residents are proud of their com-
munity and they want to make sure that it is litter-free. On April 27, several hundred residents are expected to participate in the Town of Davie and Central
Broward Water Control District’s 17th Annual Waterway Clean-up and Trash Splash. The effort started with a group of volunteers gathering on a Saturday and has grown into a major event involving school clubs, boy and girl scouts, religious and non-profit organizations, local families and individuals. Organizers are looking for groups, families, or individual residents to help clean and pick up trash from the canal banks. They also need residents with small boats to clean the canal waters.
Check-in for the event begins at 8:30am at Davie Town Hall and the clean-up will last from 9 to 11:30am. Each of the volunteers will be assigned to a small area along the C-11 Canal. In total, they will clean more than eight miles along Orange Drive and Griffin Road, between State Road 7 and Flamingo Rd. In return for their efforts, participants will receive community service hours, a free Waterway T-Shirt or hat, and a ticket for admittance to the “Trash Splash” pool party, held at Pine Island Park Pool after the clean-up. There will be free food, a DJ, swimming and lots of fun. The public awareness campaign seems to be working. In the past, volunteers found many large items, such as cars, refrigerators and air conditioners. Each year, however, they find fewer large items and less trash. Allison Gibbs plans to participate in the clean-up with her children. She is very concerned about the environment and wants to do what she can to keep her Town clean. “I was impressed by last year’s Clean Up and decided to join the effort,” said Allison. “I am always so frustrated by people who litter. We must preserve the planet for our children and future generations.” Pre-registration is required. For information, visit www.davie-fl.gov or call 954-797-1153.
