Ephrata Young Farmers
Tackle Stream Cleanup
A group of about 40
members of the Ephrata
Area Young Farmers
Association converged on the
Glenn Miller farm, Stevens
Rl, last Saturday morning.
They came with chain saws,
tractors, buckets, and
chains. Some got wet and
muddy, a few were covered
with sawdust by the end of
the morning, and everyone
of the farmers there put in a
good day’s work by the time
it was ready to leave.
What were they doing?
They were cleaning up a
section of the Cocalico Creek
where it runs past the Miller
Although Bill Wingenroth’s job of Ephrata Area Young Farmers, it had
roasting the pig might have been the to qualify as the hottest, too. The pig
least backbreaking task during last was donated by Terry Scheetz, a
Saturday's stream cleanup by the Stevens pork producer.

farm. The cleanup operation
was actually a joint effort
between the Young Farmer
group and the Cocalico
Watershed Association.
The waterwhed
association has been urging
civic and youth groups to
adopt a section of the
Cocalico, and the Young
Farmers picked the stretch
that runs from Graybill’s
Dairy Store in Denver to
Route 222. On Saturday they
took truckloads of debris
from the creek, much of it
left over from Agnes. They
also cut down dead trees that

were in danger of toppling
into the stream.
Marvin Sander, chairman
of the cleanup committee,
told Lancaster Farming that
the Young Fanners wanted
to make the stream cleaner
and healthier for wildlife,
and they wanted to help
preserve it. Their next step,
he said, will probably be to ’
install gabions at different
points along the stream to
prevent erosion of the
stream banks and to stop the
formation of sand bars in the
stream channel. Gabions are
wire baskets filled with
rocks.

Truckloads of debris like this were
wrestled from the Cocalico Creek and
cleared from its banks last Saturday
at the Glenn Miller Farm, Stevens.
The stream cleanup project was a
joint effort of the Ephrata Area Young
Farmers and the Cocalico Watershed
Association.
