The Arlington Rotary Club completed stream restoration projects along a 165-foot reach of Portage Creek, one of two main fish-bearing creeks passing through the Old Town Arlington, as part of a September service project. A total of 11 Rotary members and guest volunteers removed non-native vegetation, picked up litter and removed two encampments.
