Nearly 400 area science stu­dents
cleaned up tons of debris
from the stream bed and banks
of the Lititz Springs Creek
Wednesday morning.
Stan Schoenberger, chairman
of the Warwick science depart­ment,
said the students, grades
■8 through 12, were all back in
school by noon and he stated:
“I’m just well pleased. They
did an outstanding job.”
Schoenberger said, however,
that the one and a half mile
section of the creek from North
Broad Street, Lititz, to Clay
Road in Warwick Township con­tained
more debris than had
been anticipated from visual in­spections.
“It was actually a bigger job
than we thought,” Schoenberg­er
said and noted a possible
follow-up program will be con­sidered
for sometime in May on
a smaller scale with fewer peo­ple
involved.
He said lawn, mowers, shock
absorbers bed springs, and even
a refrigerator, were pulled from
the creek. In addition, huge
quantities of bottles, cans, pa­per,
weeds, and branches were
gathered.
Local municipalities provided
trucks for hauling the debris
away.
. The clean up was the local
response to the nationwide En­vironmental
, Teach-in or Earth
Day. The project had the active
support of many local citizens
and officials.
Warwick students pull debris from

nearly filled. It was one of many
