Bristol Leads Beluga Point Spring 2010 Cleanup
Bristol employees kept their commitment to help keep Alaska clean by picking up trash May 26 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 spring, 10 employees volunteered to help with the annual cleanup, which took about two hours—together hauling out 11 bags of trash, said coordinator Daniela Jarvis. Volunteers will return to clean up Beluga Point again in the fall.
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 spring 2010 included (front row, from left) environmental scientist Russell James, administrative assistant Daniela Jarvis, project assistant Tammy Miller, project assistant Teri Reed, and document production assistant Sharon Van Muysen; (back row, from left), administrative intern Holly Torrison, administrative assistant Sarah Johnson, expeditor Melodee Carlson, environmental scientist Eric Barnhill, and wetlands scientist Michelle Sturdy.
