Silver City Pick It Up-Toss No Mas would like to thank all the volunteers who participated in the World Water Day cleanup event. A group of 12 volunteers worked to remove 305 pounds of trash and debris from various areas around Silver City, with a particular focus on waterways and drainage systems such as Big Ditch Park, Silva Creek, Pinos Altos Creek, and San Vicente Creek. Their hard work not only improved the health of these environments for local plants and wildlife but also enhanced the safety and beauty of these spaces for the community.
