We are Pleased to Present Clawd the Crayfish |
 |
Don't be surprised if you catch this little guy popping up around Plain Township.
He is here to educate our citizens about storm water pollution and other water quality issues.
Why a crayfish?
Crayfish are creatures that can be found in our local waterways, such as the Nimishillen Creek in Alpine Park.
Crayfish, also known as crawfish or crawdads, are unable to survive in polluted water.
So to keep this little guy alive and thriving, it is important to take good care of our local waterways.

A contest was held with Plain Local Schools to come up with the best name for our crustaceous friend.
Dozens of suggestions flooded into our offices, in hopes of winning the honor of naming our new mascot.
We would like to give a special thanks to Gavin Nupp in Mrs. Mongiardo’s Fourth Grade class at Avondale for the great name Clawd the Crayfish.
Gavin was presented with an award of appreciation, gift certificates to Chuck E. Cheese’s and LaserQuest, along with a few Clawd the Crayfish souvenirs - a special hat, necklace, and official Clawd toy.
