Local Erie Teens are helping out the community today by cleaning up trash and broken tree limbs all along the trails at McClelland Park in the Eastlawn Hills neighborhood of East Erie. 17 year old, Justin V. of Millcreek, 18 year old, Charlie Moyer of Erie and 17 year old, Kayla B. of Erie were all helping out today to clean up the trails. “It’s feels really good helping out the community especially since I grew up not far from this park.” says Justin. Justin and Charlie both grew up in the Burton neighborhood of East Erie, while they both lived streets apart, they both enjoy helping out and cleaning up the garbage in the east side of Erie. “Growing up on Woodlawn in Burton was tough due to the crime in the neighborhood, but I would always try and help keep trash off the streets and make sure that water gets in the sewers right.” says Charlie Moyer. The past few days, Erie had 20-30 mph winds hit the city which caused some trees to fall down, tree limbs breaking off and trash to blow around. The three teens also cleaned up the plastic bags and garbage in McDannell Run which is a stream that runs through the park
