In Celebration of Earth Day, the Friends of the Little Aughwick Creek, a local watershed group committed to protecting the environment and water quality within the Little Aughwick Creek watershed, sponsored the 3^nd annual Great PA Cleanup on Saturday, May 2nd.  A dozen volunteers gathered 70 bags of trash, over 1 ton of litter, around Fort Littleton.  FLAC would like to thank all the volunteers who gave their time to clean up our community and to thank Park's Texaco for providing lunch and PennDOT for providing trash bags, gloves, safety vests and picking up the collected litter.
