As part of the statewide cleanup effort of Make It Shine, FODC is holding a city-wide cleanup at two locations. The cleanup will take place on Saturday April 1st. Meet FODC Staff at the Outdoor Learning Park behind Sabraton Kroger at 1851 Earl Core Road. We will start gearing up at 9:30am to divide everyone up and make Morgantown and Deckers Creek shine! The cleanup will last till around noon.
The first location is near the Sabraton Kroger and the second is near the gorge area in Dellslow along Route 7. Trasnportation is not provided but we advise car pooling. If you want to drive up to the gorge and park at one of the pull-offs, the coordinates for the gorge are 39.605N, 79.8769W.
Make sure you to wear approriate clothing and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated and snacks if you need them.

Mission Statement
To improve the natural qualities of, increase public concern for, and promote the enjoyment of the Deckers Creek watershed.
Description
Friends of Deckers Creek is working to clean-up the decades of environmental degradation that have been inflicted on the watershed. Through remediation projects, trash clean-ups, community outreach, and environmental education, it was FODC’s goal for the entire length of Deckers Creek to be fishable by 2010 and swimmable by 2015; turning the creek from a liability into a community asset. However, delays in getting a treatment facility at the devastating Richard mine discharge have pushed back this deadline to 2020.
