On October 11th, The Concord Wildlife Alliance, in conjunction with the State of North Carolina and Cabarrus County Soil and Water Conservation took part in the states Big Sweep Campaign. Together with some volunteers from the Concord Lion's Club, Gibson Village Neighborhood Association, and Clearwater Artist Studio we cleaned up part of the Academy Branch along the Village Greenway. After taking a quick tour of the Clearwater Artist studio we headed out to clean the branch. As you can see we made a huge impact on the removal of trash, clothes, debris and tires from this waterway.
