Bristol Leads Beluga Point Fall 2009 Cleanup
Bristol employees kept their commitment to help keep Alaska clean by picking up trash September 30 at Beluga Point, a popular viewing area just south of Anchorage, along one of the nation’s most scenic highways.
Bristol volunteers regularly clean up the Chugach State Park property as part of Bristol’s commitment to community service. This fall, 10 employees volunteered to help with the annual cleanup, which took about two hours—together hauling out eight full bags of trash, said coordinator Sarah Johnson. Volunteers will return to clean up Beluga Point again in the spring.
Beluga Point is a popular viewing area at Mile 110.5 of the Seward Highway scenic byway. The site, which is named for the beluga whales that frequent Cook Inlet, overlooks Turnagain Arm and is part of the Alaska State Parks system.
Volunteers for fall 2009 included (front row, from left) accounting clerk Elizabeth Hruby, receptionist Sarah Johnson, project assistant Suzanne Lovell, project assistant Tammy Miller, wetlands scientist Michelle Sturdy; (back row, from left) environmental scientist Eric Lindeen, environmental scientist Eric Barnhill, Russell James, staff geologist Lyndsey Kleppin, and document production assistant Sharon Van Muysen.
