Cub Scout Pack Resumes Canal Cleanup Post Pandemic

WOODLAND PARK, N.J. — The Woodland Park Cub Scout Pack 31 resumed its tradition of performing a cleanup of the Morris Canal Greenway running along Mount Pleasant Ave. in the borough on June 27. 

The Cub Scouts, along with several Boy Scouts from Troop 238, cleaned up the property of the American Legion Hall located at 410 Mount Pleasant Ave., including the bank of the Morris Canal behind the hall.

They then moved to the Greenway to remove litter and debris that accumulated along the hiking trail and on both sides of the canal.  Altogether, the Scouts filled approximately 10 industrial-sized garbage bags with trash.

Prior to COVID-19, Pack 31 unofficially adopted the canal path as their own hiking trail to take care of and the Scouts cleaned up the path twice per year.  However, it had to suspend the project due to social-distancing rules during the pandemic.
