With the assistance and guidance of Raleigh Stormwater – and perfect Fall weather – a group of eight Wooten volunteers went out to a section of Walnut Creek just outside of downtown, near the greenway. The gameplan: split into two groups, branch out, and meet back in the middle.
Given our long history of water management and treatment, it's rewarding to get out and get our hands dirty to help take care of this precious resource. Also, building internal relationships and friendships across departments helps us grow and improve as a team.

The high traffic location lent itself to a large haul of trash. Aside from the bicycle and satellite dish, the group hauled at least a dozen large trash bags full out of the one mile section.
