35 liters of trash collected
16 days since last collection
Ascension holiday and a week of nice weather, boardwalk packed w/people. Lake levels high 3/4 of beach inundated, major rain and spring snow melts caused massive flood events along many rivers and streams beginning May 2nd.
Difficult to reach left side of the river bank due to flooding & respect for the nesting swans. The nest is currently only a meter from the water's edge. Both swans are nervous & its difficult to collect the debris near their nest w/out stressing them further.

The debris from the flood event is evident
along the shore-front & in the lake. Debris lines extended 50 meters out
into lake, mix of natural materials and pollutants. The plastic debris has rapidly disintegrated into finer particles mainly due to boat traffic.
