Today: Above video is record of my weekly walk along and around the Coginchaug in my neighborhood.
Tomorrow: (well, actually March 15) Coginchaug River Cleanup at Middletown North End Peninsula (recycling center) Saturday March 15 – 10 AM to Noon; Jonah Center’s John Hall reports:
The Jonah Center needs volunteers to help remove a lot of junk (fishing camp debris, old tires, plastic bottles, etc, ) from the bank of the lower Coginchaug adjacent to the recycling center. It is important to do this now, while there is no poison ivy growing, and before spring floods carry this stuff into the river.
Directions to Site: Go through the gate into the Middletown recycling center (at the intersection of North Main and Johnson Streets) in the North End. Bear to your left and park near the brush and wood chip piles.
If you plan to help with this effort, we suggest that you let John Hall know by visiting the Jonah Center web site and emailing from there or call (860) 346-6657 x 13, so he can inform you in case the event needs to be postponed due to weather or high water conditions.
Here’s a photo showing just a sampling of what was collected in the cleanup in July ’07:

It’s interesting to see a local blogger that has video taped areas that I am so familiar with.-That river is really running pretty good.
