The area around Calamus Reservoir is popular with people and is good wildlife habitat. Because of human activity there is a lot of trash. We pick up the trash along several miles of Highway 96 twice each year. We get $50 each time and donate it to the Switzer Nature Preserve-hosts of the Nebraska Prairie Chicken Festival.
We will clean up the trash this spring, and again this fall. Out group included teenagers and people up into their mid 60s.
