Kayla Wilcox, with the remains of a plastic box, and Morgan Brower, of Bradley Central High School, assemble garbage they collected Saturday from Mouse Creek in front of the Village Green business center. Bradley Central and Cleveland High School students took part in the annual fall creek cleanup.CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Emily Johnson gingerly climbed down a wet, steep bank to Mouse Creek in front of the Village Green business center Saturday.
The Bradley Central High School student struggled to get a full-sized car tire out of the water and wrestle it back up the bank.
Upstream, other students from Cleveland High School were getting into the creek at Raider Drive to work their way downstream.
Mouse Creek got a fall cleanup Saturday, thanks to the efforts of young people from both schools.
Why go to all that effort?
