Volunteer Coordinator Emily Fritz and volunteer Lib Haubenreise celebrate a job well done.

A big shout-out goes to super-star volunteer Lib Haubenreiser who joined Volunteer Coordinator Emily Fritz for a trash trap cleanout in Washington last week. The duo removed 45 pounds of trash from the trash, hung out with a family of ducks and, oddly, found a golf ball that had been cut in half. Thank you, Lib, for your work keeping the Tar-Pamlico Litter-Free!

Stranger things have been found in Sound Rivers’ trash traps.
