Ohio Brush Creek
Sweep Set for Saturday April 24
Contact Bill Wickerham, Adams Soil & Water
Conservation District
Volunteers will
take to the water on Saturday, April 24 in support of the 2010
Ohio Brush Creek Sweep. Now in its 19th year, the Ohio
Brush Creek Sweep invites volunteers to remove litter and debris
from the stream via canoe while they learn from natural resource
professionals who present informational programs about the
stream.
Not to be confused
with the Scioto Brush Creek Sweep, the Ohio Brush Creek Sweep
takes place in Adams County and is held one month prior to the
Scioto Brush Creek Sweep.
So What's the
Difference Between Ohio and Scioto Brush Creek?
Ohio Brush Creek's headwaters begin in Highland County, then the
stream wanders through Adams County until it empties into the
Ohio River near Rome. Scioto Brush Creek begins in Adams
County near the village of Locust Grove, then meanders through Scioto County,
draining into the Scioto River at Rushtown. The streams'
watersheds border each other, but despite having similar names,
the streams are not connected.
