FRIENDS OF THE RIVER ADOPT FM 2918

They don’t just clean up rivers.

The Friends of the River San Bernard recently adopted two miles of FM 2918 from FM 2611 to CR 868 for litter control, spokeswoman Jan Edwards said. For at least the next two years, members will remove trash and other debris from the roadside not only to keep it attractive, but to keep unwanted items out of the San Bernard River, Edwards said.

“If trash doesn’t find its way into the river, we won’t need to clean it out of the river next spring,” she said.

Volunteers will attend a safety meeting, then remove litter at least four times per year. The Texas Department of Transportation will erect a sign showing the group’s adoption of the area, provide traffic control signs, vests and trash bags and remove filled bags and heavy or hazardous debris.
