Comments and Feedback
Twenty years of underwater cleanups have left this pond in great shape for the fish and turtles that live there. Seven volunteer divers helped with the cleanup! This area is so clean that we may have to find another location to start cleaning next year! We look forward to cleaning up a small part of Mother Earth again next year.
