This Earth Day, a determined group of engineers, scientists, lab technicians, technical trainers, managers and more stormed the shore in Discovery Park picking up litter and debris.

The staff at West Point Wastewater Treatment Plant take their stewardship of the park around the treatment facility seriously, and can often be seen toting trash off the beach and trails.

For Earth Day, coworkers teamed up to remove washed up plastic and Styrofoam, planks full of nails, and other rubbish from the area around the scenic Discovery Park lighthouse and beautiful bluffs.

It’s just one of the ways we pitch in to make every day Earth Day. You can do this too with family, neighbors and friends as an outing or join scheduled volunteer cleanup events in your area.
