(March 1, 2021) Haw Creek Trash Trout Vandalized -- Can You Help?
In case you missed it, our Haw Creek Trash Trout was vandalized on February 27, the aluminum pontoons were stolen and the remainder was tossed back into the creek.
We are 100% committed to getting this Trout back in the water where it belongs, trapping litter 24/7. It's important we do this quickly, as spring rains bring lots more trash into our waterways.
Fixing and reinstalling this Trash Trout will cost about $500-700. But we're also going to install HD security cameras — to prevent this from happening again — which will be costly. (Early estimates are around $1000-$1500.)
Please consider making a donation — a gift of any size will help to make this happen. Click the button below and select "Apply My Donation to Trash Trout/Litter Prevention."
Together with our caring community, we can prevent vandals from getting in the way of our committment to a trash-free Asheville and greater WNC!
