About 50 volunteers in Parkes joined thousands around the country last weekend in what has become the nation’s largest community based environmental event, Clean Up Australia Day.
Last Friday five home schoolers did a clean up of the creek in PAC Park picking up about four black rubbish bags. The Parkes Dragon Boat Club had 14 members join in a clean up of Lake Endeavour collecting eight bags of rubbish and several large pieces before their training session Sunday morning. Another 20 volunteers cleaned up around town on Sunday morning.
