Clean up Day for canal is here

The flowers are starting to blossom and that means it's spring cleaning time.So the Friends of the Delaware Canal is having a cleanup April 14 along the Morrisville and Bristol stretch of the Delaware Canal State Park.

"(The Friends) sponsors this annual event to encourage volunteers to clear trash, debris and brush from the historic waterway and towpath that runs from Easton to Bristol," said Susan Taylor, executive director.
Volunteers are needed to tackle the nine-mile stretch from Ferry Road in Morrisville to Riverfront Park in Bristol.
The cleanup will begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon.
Participants will need to choose from 10 locations and contact the coordinator for that cleanup spot for details of the day's activities.
Gloves, long-handled rakes, boots and branch snippers are useful tools to bring. Trash bags will be provided.
The Friends of the Delaware Canal is an independent, nonprofit organization working to restore, preserve and improve the canal and its surroundings. Its primary goals are to ensure that the canal is fully watered from Easton to Bristol and that the towpath trail is usable over its entire length.
Currently the canal is watered to Morrisville but is dry further south pending construction of a pedestrian tunnel beneath Route 13 in Tullytown and other improvements.
