LITTER-FREE: Clayton’s trash trap got a clean sweep this week, as dedicated trash-trapper Larry Hattenburg led volunteers with a cleanout and cleanup on Little Creek. Pictured left to right are volunteers Blake Foster, Whitney Grantham, Julie Martinez Hayes and Jonathan Black. According to Larry, a handball joins the ranks of other sports equipment found in the trap over the last year, including a baseball, basketball, softball, tennis ball, football, soccer ball and pickle ball. Thank you, Larry and crew, for keeping Little Creek litter-free!
