Supported by the Town of Monroe and Village of Chester this will be the 3rd annual clean up and 5th overall. The first cleanup FOWL organized was in September 2021: a group of 27 volunteers retrieved over 2 tons of debris from Walton Lake including 57 automobile tires, laptop computer, bowling ball and numerous unidentifiable items. Each effort has removed thousands of pieces of garbage from the Village of Chester drinking water. FOWL continues to strive to do its part to maintain these pristine waters, with the help of its members and new friends, in keeping this beautiful planet clean and environmentally balanced. If you can join us, FOWL will be staging across from Monarca Cantina Mexican Restaurant at 438 Lakes Road, Monroe. Limited parking is available in the gravel parking lot, so please be environmentally friendly and carpool if possible. If you forget a trash bag, there will be some available and a trash drop off point established at the staging area.
