The Centralia Stream Team has announced a cleanup event for China Creek on June 4. Participants will meet in the Centralia College parking lot at 113 South Rock St. at 10 a.m. and be divided into groups. Participants will then spend a few hours along China Creek picking up trash. The event is scheduled to end at 1 p.m.
According to the team’s statement, beyond the cleanup, the group is looking to build “relationships with other members of the community who are here to help with the environmental impacts of poor water quality.”
After the clean-up, there will be a barbecue and cornhole competition that will include prizes.
