The Great American Clean Up event was a big event in which Penn State Berks helped with by cleaning up the one mile segment of the Schuylkill River trail from Bare Park to the Buttonwood Street Bridge. This clean up event was a success there were many organizations, and other colleges there to help beautify Reading.
I attended this event for my group as well. It was great seeing how many people from the community showed up outside of the group from PSU. Hopefully the trail remains clean and people constantly monitor and clean up what is put there.
I am surprised that this group was able to help out with an event that brough several other colleges in. This shows that your efforts are spreading awareness for this issue.
