Was someone else cleaning up the Nashua River?

Saturday I went paddling on the Nashua at Center Rd. When I got there I saw 2 bags of kitchen trash on the path in the corn field I park in. The Nashua River Watershed Association booklet says it's private property, and apparently the owner doesn't mind kayakers parking there. So I cleaned up that trash and went to work.
Upstream there are some logjams that typically catch a lot of trash, but they were almost empty. Did someone clean up? If so, thank you!
So I collected some other stuff and went back downstream. At the big logjam I've been working on, I tried to collect some stuff out in the middle. See the before and after



Again, it's not ddone, but I've getting close.

Nashua River Brainshark Presentation

Hey I updated my Brainshark Presentation to include some new progress and some new pictures. I still haven't built a "before and after" gallery, but at least I updated my Brainshark Presentation. Check it out: View My Brainshark Presentation.

Nashua River Follow-up

Today, I made 3 runs down to the large logjam mentioned in the prior post. I wanted to collect everything I'd bundled up before winter or a flood, and since we were due to get a tropical storm today, I thought it might be a good idea.
It took me 3 trips to haul it all out - 2 tires, 2 coolers, 6 bags of trash and a couple of other miscellaneous items. There's still some trash there, but perhaps another weekend. At least I know this stuff won't end up downstream.
