McKendree University

A group of nine McKendree University students cleaned an eighth-mile of the bank of the Kaskaskia River just below the dam on Carlyle Lake. And from that small area, they managed to mine just shy of 40 pounds of trash. On Monday they took the trash they found and attatched it to a four-foot-tall, 20-foot-long chickenwire fence right next to the University’s flag pole with hopes it would make others think twice before they hurled their garbage into our waterways. photos by Derik Holtmann
