LWVFC Service Day: CT River Source to Sea Cleanup

Saturday, Sept. 28, 9:00am

The Source to Sea Cleanup is an annual trash cleanup of the Connecticut River system—rivers, streams, parks, boat launches, trails and more. Each fall, thousands of volunteers of all ages and abilities head out to places of their choice all along the four-state watershed (NH, VT, MA, CT) to clean the Connecticut River and its tributaries on foot or by boat. Join the LWVFC's group here— we'll be meeting at the Great Falls Discovery Center.

Many hands make light work— please join us if you can. Folks can RSVP in the fashion easiest for them, or just show up. For the full run-down, please check out our Facebook event:
