Navesink Cleanup Sept. 16, 2012
NSRG thanks all who participated in the Sept. 16 2012 on the water cleanup of the Navesink River. Most of the trash removed was from along the Hartshorne shoreline. NSRG had been in the Rumson area in June and cleaned up some of the sedge islands near the municipal boat launch. There were reports at that time that the far shore by Hartshorne park was littered with floatables including foam floats, boat bumpers, plastic containers, bottles, rope, etc. Special thanks to Ron Baruzzi for captaining his motor boat, which made the long distance cleanup possible. Also special thanks to John Minton from the Monmouth County Clean Communities for helping out and taking care of proper disposal of the collected trash. The Borough of Rumson was also very helpful and Jamie Mellish, Rumson's Recycling Coordinator, worked our approvals and was on hand all day to make sure everything went well. Also, must give extra special thanks to Rosemary Bagwell for taking care of things on shore.
The weather was fine and our kayak and canoers had plenty of company on the water. Our participants were: DJ Johnson (Sea Scout), Frank Davis (Jersey Shore Sea Kayak Association), Jeff King, Laura Bagwell, Ron Baruzzi, Carla Fiscills, Charlotte Langweld, Nancy Miller, Linda & Steve Ambruzs, Rosemary Bagwell, Barbara Johnson, John Minton and Jamie Mellish.
Thank you all!
