Beach Cleanup Thank You
On Saturday October 28, the Town sponsored a cleanup of its ocean-side beaches. It was a gorgeous, sunny and warm fall day, and almost 40 people came out to help collect plastic trash and fishing gear from our beaches. THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS! And Huge Thanks to Diane Costa of Savory & Sweet Escape for donating free pizza to all our volunteers after the cleanup! Thanks, Diane! The Truro Beach Cleanup team includes town staff and CERT members (Community Emergency Response Team) that schedule and organize beach cleanups throughout the year. Look here in the E-Newsletter in March or April 2018 for the next scheduled cleanup of Truro's bayside beaches, and checkout the Truro Beach Cleanup page on the Town's website.
