The Big Sweep is a regional effort of North Carolina to clean up the New River. Mountain Alliance has been involved in this project for years, and once a year sends a group of students to the New River to pitch in. Upon arriving at the site, students met with staff of New River Outfitters who were a great help in preparing them for the day ahead.
The students then spent the rest of the day in the New River on canoes, picking up all the trash they could find. By the end of the day students were exhausted but proud of the work they had accomplished.
Students not only made a big impact on the river pollution problem, but also learned the value of a clean, healthy community.
