Watershed Fundraiser

Watershed Fundraiser

The Plymouth Watershed Committee is doing an Airstream Fundraiser to raise funds for a matching state grant that they have secured for projects on our local watershed.

We are very excited to offer the prize: a 1964 AIRSTREAM Trade Wind 24’ Travel Trailer w/ a new axle.

So nows your chance to listen to Wally Byam - the founder of Airstream:

"Don’t stop. Keep right on going. Hitch up your trailer and go to Canada or down to Old Mexico. Head for Europe, if you can afford it, or go to the Mardi Gras. Go someplace you’ve heard about, where you can fish or hunt or collect rocks or just look up at the sky. Find out what’s at the end of some country road. Go see what’s over the next hill, and the one after that, and the one after that." This is the message and the legacy of Wally Byam – founder of Airstream.

Become a member of the WBCCI (you have to own an Airstream) and begin your dream of adventure and exploration – all in your very own Airstream.

The how - tickets are $25 each. Once the Watershed sells 400 tickets, they’ll draw a winner. So here’s your chance to win big! We are putting a new axle under this baby, the polishing has been started and if I get the time, I will have at least the first cut completed. This trailer will need to be restored, but it’s a chance to have a clean canvas for your own customized Airstream! Interior is all there and the outside shell is near perfect - so Start DREAMING now!

HOW TO GET TICKETS? Mail $25 x (# of tickets requested) to:

Welcome to the Plymouth Watershed Blog site!

Welcome to the Plymouth Watershed Blog site!

The Town of Plymouth and the Plymouth Watershed Commitee would like to welcome you to our Plymouth Watershed blog - where we will be recording our progress on the maintenance and restoration of the Canasawacta Creek in the town of Plymouth via a Plymouth citizen led committee of Volunteers. We will use this forums as one of the means of communicating with the town citizens and taxpayers news relating to the project. This forum will serve as a means to alleviate some of the costs associate with administrative mailings. Be sure to check back regularly as well be updating the blog as things occur. Above are pictures from the Evesun Photos site that captured the Flood of 2006. One is of our Foster Park and it shows the damage resulting from the flood. The second photo is just east of Foster Park on State Route 23 showing the debris washed out of the hills and down into the valley - depositing itself in the Creek. Multiply this by the number of tributaries into the creek and you can imagine the force that was at work.
