Coldstream Research Campus Hosted Earth Day Cleanup

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 6, 2015) — In support of Earth Day and the national Keep America Beautiful campaign, the University of Kentucky Coldstream Research Campus and the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government's Parks and Recreation Department held a cleanup of the banks of the Cane Run Creek south of Citation Boulevard, near the bridge in front of Eastern State Hospital.

Due to recent rains, high water had deposited a great deal of litter along the banks of the creek.  A successful clean up effort led by Coldstream Research Campus staff members Jim Conner and Steve Johns took place on April 22, 2015. Organizers worked with friends from HP, Tempur Sealy and other Coldstream volunteers to pick up and sort trash and recyclables that was later removed by LFUCG.
