Tomorrow Center aids in river clean-up

CARDINGTON — The Tomorrow Center joined efforts with Lindsey Grimm from the Morrow County Office of Recycling and Litter Prevention to participate in cleaning debris from the Whetstone River at Heimlich Park Sept. 18.

Twenty-two Tomorrow Center students and three staff along with Lindsey Grimm, James Anderson from Marion Parks Department and ODNR officer Tyler Eldred waded the river in both directions collecting a variety of debris. Tomorrow Center Science teacher Jessica Anderson was instrumental in planning this event.

This has become an annual event that teaches the students the importance of recycling and litter prevention.
