As part of the statewide cleanup effort of Make It Shine, Friends of Deckers Creek is working to cleanup litter in the creek and along the Deckers Creek Rail Trail. We will meet behind Kroger (1851 Earl L Core Rd, Morgantown, WV 26505) and disperse from there. We will provide gloves and bags. Make sure you bring plenty of water to stay hydrated and wear sunblock. If you decide not to participate in this event, please unregister so others can have the opportunity.

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.
