Ian Johnston
Bear Creek Reservoir & Large Soda Lake Cleanup

Eagle Scout Ian Johnston, Troop 199, organized and led the Bear Creek Reservoir and Large Soda Lake shoreline clean-up on November 15, 2008. Ian and 32 volunteers removed fishing line and hooks, plastic bags, cans, bottles, and other debris from 2.17 miles of shoreline around Bear Creek Reservoir and 1.5 miles of shoreline around Large Soda Lake. The cleanup resulted in the collection of four cubic yards of trash, which was then sorted in order to separate recyclable materials.
