Trek-for-Trash cleanup on Hondo roads draws volunteers
About 30 residents and Taos County officials joined the Trek-for-Trash effort Saturday in upper and lower Hondo Placitas and along the main highway right of way and Rio Hondo River. Volunteers collected more than two tons of trash, escorted by the Taos County Wolf Pack Bus and a Gonzales dump truck, with lunch provided at Arroyo Hondo Community Center. The event, organized by Angelica Ortiz Verontica Ortiz and Elena Rendon, supports a Holy Trinity Parish youth group heading to Toronto to visit the Pope, while raising funds for their trip and benefiting the community.
