Community Clean-up Builds New Relationships
This year’s traditional clean-up set precedents. A record number of different groups planned the effort including the North Segment Community (a Tribal Subdivision), the New Town Chamber, the City, the NT High School, the alternative school. and the Blue Buttes Saddle Club. Some of the plans are still in the works, but hopes are high. North Segment had their usual trash pick-up with kids getting bracelets for the State Fair and other prizes, community groups and NS worked together to clean-up designated areas. The schools were covering graffiti and some classes were on line to make signs.The Saddle club is working with Horizens and the city to pay insurance so it can becovered by the city’s insurance and the Horizens group can sponsor a work day to refurbish it and make it safe again. The best news about spring clean-up is that folks are working with new groups to get the job done.
