Article Image Alt Text

John and Jude Jenkins, ages four and six, eagerly picked up litter along their road east of Ft. Jessup, so they could follow in the example set by their grandparents who have adopted a road by the lake where they pick up litter on a monthly basis.

The Sabine Parish Leaders Against Litter Committee is preparing for the third annual fall, parish wide “Stash Your Trash” Bash on Saturday, September 21. Volunteers from civic and other groups such as fishing teams, hunting clubs and deer leases, churches and their Youth Groups, 4-H and other school groups along with individuals are needed to work with zone managers around the parish to pick up as much roadside litter as possible. The event will be from 8:00 a.m. until noon on the third Saturday of September.

Recently, John and Jude Jenkins (ages 6 & 4), whose parents are Hollie and Buzz Jenkins, picked up trash along Big N Road, east of Fort Jessup. They told their Dad they “wanted to be good citizens like Pop & Nanny” (Winston & Paula Hodge) who pick up trash along Highway 1215 every month. Thank you to the Hodges for being good examples for their grandchildren to follow in respecting our environment.
