K-Town & Finger Lakes TU to conduct a Canoga Creek Clean-up

On Saturday March 26th, at 9:00 AM, Kuneytown Sportsmen’s Club will work in partnership with the Finger Lakes Chapter of Trout Unlimited to conduct a Canoga Creek Clean-up.

Our mission is to clean up trash and junk that has accumulated in and around the creek as well as to remove the invasive species “Multiflora Rose” from the stream bank, which is limiting stream access and preventing native species from re-vegetating the erodible stream banks of the creek.

We need members and their families to come get involved in conservation work to enhance our neighborhood trout fishing resource. Please come in work clothes, and bring your tools- ie machetes, pruning shears, work gloves, etc. You may want to bring high boots or hip waders as well if you plan on wading to remove trash. Trash bags will be provided.

We will meet at 9:00 am in the state parking area near the Canoga Cemetery. We will focus our efforts on the section of the stream that is public, east of Rt 89. This section of the creek is scheduled to be stocked with brook trout again this year by the Trout Unlimited folks before opening day (April 1).

Please come and take advantage of this great opportunity to represent your club’s efforts to protect and enhance our local natural resources. It is a great opportunity to get to know Canoga Creek!

See you there on Saturday.
