Down on Fort Morgan -- they were getting some help Saturday morning in cleaning up the historic site. It’s all part of a 2nd Annual Litter Rodeo started by a local boy -- who continues to inspire his friends and strangers to pick up trash.
) - With the sound of a blow horn -- they’re off -- teams of kids and their parents scavenging the grounds of Historic Fort Morgan.
“We found lots of trash and piece of rebar and we found some of this police yellow stuff... Police yellow stuff.. We found caution tape ,” said a boy and his mom. “Lee: What do you think about all of these people helping you out? -- Oliver: Well, it is cool. It’s really, really cool. It saves the sea turtles.”
“We love the initiative and the fact it’s a child and we’ve got all these children out here starting young -- so hopefully when we see trash in town - you pick it up -- so that it doesn’t make it to the water,” said Lorri & Tucker Rhodes, Gulf Shores. “We pick on it... We call ourselves litter nerds and we are just focused on protecting these waters. As part of it -- you just meet passionate people. We heard about Oliver, Ryan, the Caver family -- Maggie -- and then you run across them. It’s just people of like-mind, like-passion, and very similar passion and very similar ethics of what we are trying to do... So it was a natural fit,” said Don Bates, Osprey Initiative Owner.
