Duo Committed to Cleaning and Protecting Wetlands

AVALON – When John Kauterman looks out over the wetlands surrounding the area, he sees the beauty of the natural environment with the wildlife, plants and water that draw visitors and residents to the shore.

But he also sees waste and debris impacting these vital ecosystems and is committed to cleaning it up while hoping to make others aware how their actions, or lack of actions, can threaten the natural beauty.
