Volunteers Remove 1.6 Tons of Trash from Rumney Marsh
 
REVERE, LYNN, SAUGUS -- On Saturday, September 26, 2009,  
55 volunteers from the Saugus River Watershed Council, GE Aviation in Lynn, and
Revere High School removed over 1.6 tons of trash from Rumney Marsh in Revere. 
 
"This year's volunteer cleanup was a great success.  With significant contributions
from GE Aviation, Revere High School students, and many local volunteers, we
improved the local environment for birds, fish and other wildlife that live in this valuable
salt marsh," said Joan LeBlanc, Executive Director, Saugus River Watershed Council. 
 
Some of the trash, such as pieces of foam and plastic bottles, had washed into the
salt marsh during high tidal conditions.  Other larger items such as tires, metal wiring,
and appliances were illegally dumped in the area.

In his spare time, Ortiz has taken a leadership role in the community.  He conducted

biology and Spanish, and volunteered at My Brother's Table.  Ortiz plans to study
Chemical Engineering at the
