A crew of 21 volunteers cleared the roadsides and gullies during the Northumberland Association for Progressive Stewardship (NAPS) Spring Highway Cleanup, Sunday, May 3. The team removed 23 large bags of trash from Route 200 between Wicomico Church and the Glebe Point Bridge to be disposed of or recycled.

Volunteers for the cleanup were Mike Ahart, LaToya Bunns-Bea, Estrella Cruz, Kathleen Ennen, Thom Ennen, Lee Flick, Sharon Flick, Alice Imbur, Don Imbur, Victoria Jett, Jeff Kuver, Larkin Rea, Jen Sagan, John Scherbenske, Michelle Scherbenske, James Scripture, Claudia St. John, Martha Tallent, Sadie Wirt, Bob Yancey, and Denez Yancey.

“We had a great turnout and a very enthusiastic group,” said NAPS Highway Cleanup Coordinator Denez Yancey. “Unfortunately the litter on our highways affects our safety and the health of our wildlife and waterways,” she added.
