McEwan reported that about 95 percent of the trash was ac- tual litter as opposed to heavy industrial material and metal, yet the groups still managed to clean up over 300 kg of gar- bage. Most of the trash was collected from behind stores along Main St., es- pecially near fences of private residenc- es. "Garbage cans are close by," comment- ed Dave Dalrymple. "Why aren't they used." Others wondered how much would be there for them to I clean up next year. Cleaning up - Paul Goldsmith pulls sheets of cardboard from the banks of the Ausable River. McEwan also re- ported that plenty of building material was found in the west end of McNaughton Park and in the Ausable River, including many full sheets of both plastic and sty- rofoam insulation. The group followed up the activity by planting 500 trees just east of the park, with the help of Gib Dow of Ironwood Golf Course and Pat- ti Haist of the Ausa- ble Bayfield Conser- vation Authority.
