A scenic lookout with a dirty secret....until now. We heard about a big clean-up of garbage at the Birchy Lake lookout, between Deer Lake and Baie Verte junction

We often hear about big clean-up efforts in the spring after the snow is gone. But some members of a volunteer organization pitched in this past weekend, just ahead of our first snowfall. The focus of their efforts was the lookout near the Trans Canada at Birchy Lake. What they found in a small area is a bit shocking. Bruce Armstrong is with the Pasadena Lions Club. He had help from Lions Club members from Pasadena, Baie Verte and Springdale, along with some other people who pitched in.
