It’s Source-to-Sea Clean-up season!
The Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance (SeVWA) will partner with the Connecticut River Watershed Council (CRWC) in the annual Source-to-Sea Clean-up along our local waterways that feed the Connecticut River – and we hope that you will join us!
On Saturday, September 27th at 9 AM we will meet as a group at the Dummerston covered bridge parking lot on Route 30. Clean-up efforts will begin at the covered bridge and then participants will organize into teams to clean-up at the several sites along the West River between Brattleboro and Newfane. We will be cleaning-up on land, not on the water – so boats will not be needed. The clean-up session will end by noon.
Everyone will be provided with instructions and supplies – such as gloves, bags, etc. Bring your own gloves and bags if you’d prefer. Use of gloves is definitely recommended. We will clean-up rain-or-shine, so dress for the weather. Boots or sturdy shoes are best to wear.
All are welcome to participate. The more volunteers we have, the faster we can do the work or the more area we can clean.
