A ditch clean up took place in southwest Houston. Volunteers focused on the Bering Ditch where they said some trash has been illegally dumped.
Several volunteers, including council candidate, Ivan Sanchez, spent Saturday morning cleaning up the trash.
“We believe this side of town has been neglected for a very long time,” Sanchez said. “We need to beautify our city and clean it up.”Fish were seen in the water, the trash having a negative impact on wildlife. “In addition to it being a hazard to wildlife, its also a human health issue. As more trash accumulates in these ditches and these flood controlled structures, its going to impede water flow and its going to impede dams meaning this area could flood in the future if its not kept clean,” said Amanda Hackney with Black Cat GIS & Biological.Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
