Both banks of the Sázava river were cleaned up from waste by volunteers from the town of Sázava to Pikovice from April 7 to April 15.
A group of volunteers met at the camping site in front of the Sázava Monastery and having the boats borrowed and disposing of rakes, litter bags and rubber gloves they set out to a slow 9-days long journey along the banks on Saturday, April the 7th . This strange expedition managed to move about by about 5-6 km per day along the stream of the river. Some of the volunteers spent all 9 days cleaning the river, some only one day. It was dependent upon for how long could each one of them release himself from their ordinary work or student life regime.
The service and the financial means necessary were provided by public benefit corporation Posázaví and those who participated in the event praised the company for having taken good care of the food, drinks and other necessary volunteers needs.
Volunteers´ composition was various. There were students of Grammar School, Secondary Medical School and Secondary Technical integrated School in Benešov, pupils of basic schools from Postupice and Jílové u Prahy, members of maternity centres, waterman’s clubs, breeding organizations but also individuals who responded to the announcements in the medias.
Both businessmen and municipalities and non-profit organisations from the Local Action Group partners helped in a considerable way. „ It can be said that the Clear river Sázava is a typical leader project activating cooperation between the local action group members“, added Václav Pošmurný, director of Posázaví.
Barbora Čmelíková, manager of the project summarized: „I am satisfied both with the result and the course of the project. It is important that no one was injured- that is what me as the organizor perceive as a big burden from responsibility point of view. Besides we had very good weather and we were very surprised, however it was not a nice surprise by the amount of the waste picked up. It is said that the weight is direct proportional to the number of those who were picking up the waste. Let us hope that the project will bring not only a particular result in the form of clean banks but it will also influence the human behaviour.“
