Friends of Lakeside Nature Center

Friends of Lakeside Nature Center gathered yesterday, for what was seemingly the first full day of spring in Kansas City, and the 18th Annual Project Blue River Rescue.






Among the sightings. Donut Boy, Daniel the Sailor Man, and Charleston Heston rowing a slave ship upstream against the current.

2008 Project Blue River Rescue, 18th annual. Bring an attitude. We'll supply the tools, gloves, t-shirts, and hot dogs.

Sign-up between 8-9am @ Lakeside Nature Center
4701 E Gregory Blvd. Kansas City, MO 64132

What's the plan? Remove trash, plant trees, and have a good time mixing with 750 other volunteers in the 18th Annual project Blue River Rescue. Annually sponsored by Missouri Stream Team 175, Friends of Lakeside Nature Center, and a host of other interested folks, including government and non-governmental agencies that work in the watershed.

This looks to be the year that this project removes it's 4 millionth pound of trash from the watershed. Without the work of Project Blue River Rescue, this trash would have otherwise polluted the Blue River and then the Big Muddy MO. The MO needs the mud, but not the trash.

Be there. For more information call 816-513-8960
