Adopt A Highway
Friends of the River San Bernard has signed an agreement with
TXDOT to pick up trash along FM 2918 on a quarterly basis. Our
goal is to help clean the environment and drainage ditches for a
2.5 mile stretch beginning just south of FM 2611 and ending past
CR 306. This allows the entrance to the San Bernard Wildlife
Refuge to remain attractive most of the year.
We only meet when we have a trash
up. Volunteers bring their own hats, gloves, sunscreen and
mosquitoes repellent. Apparel should protect you form the sun,
bugs and weather. Strong shoes or boots are a good idea. TXDOT
AND F.O.R supply the rest.
We encourage you to bring your children or
grandchildren over 10 years of age. What better way to
encourage "Don't Mess with Texas"?
There must be one adult for every 3 children under the age of
16.
The first quarter trash pick up is the TEXAS
TRASH-OFF in April. TXDOT sponsors this statewide event yearly
in efforts to have the entire state clean at least for this one
day in the year.
