🌊 Over 6,200 Pounds of River Pollution Removed In Just Two Weeks!
Whittier Tech’s SkillsUSA students and the Clean River Project removed more than 6,200 pounds of trash and debris from just two containment booms placed in the Merrimack River.
These booms, funded by our SkillsUSA team and installed in partnership with the Clean River Project, are designed to catch harmful pollutants before they travel downstream. In just two weeks, the boom collected hypodermic needles, plastic bottles, human waste, CSO-related debris, and more.
This project is a powerful reminder of what’s entering our waterways and the impact students can make when they lead with purpose.
📸 Thank you to Rocky Morrison for sharing these images and for his ongoing leadership in environmental stewardship.
