Saugus Community Update

Oct. 19, 2022

We are providing this Community Update regarding WIN Waste Innovations in Saugus.

As we continue to enjoy the fall season, we wanted to share some news about the environmental and community initiatives in which we are engaged.

One of our regional partners in the work we do at Bear Creek is the Gulf of Maine Institute (GOMI), whose mission is to educate and prepare current and future generations to steward the environmental health of the Gulf of Maine bioregion. Leveraging our relationship with the N.E. Patriots, we ran a promotion in September in which WIN Waste donated $500 to GOMI every time the Patriots got into the red zone (inside the 20-yard-line). The result was a $5,500 donation. The funding will help GOMI bring the lessons developed at Bear Creek into other areas throughout New England as it works on saltmarsh restoration programming. We are thrilled to partner with GOMI on this and other environmental initiatives.

Our Sunday morning bird walks at the Bear Creek Wildlife Sanctuary continue this Sunday, Oct. 23, at 9 a.m. Pre-registration is required. If you would like to attend, please email Geoff Wilson at s2ary39@gmail.com.  Please pass this on to friends and neighbors who would enjoy a visit to the sanctuary.

We are gratified to continue supporting the community, from students to seniors. On Oct. 28, we will sponsor the annual Saugus Senior Center Halloween Dance Party, which is always a fun time. 

As a longtime partner of the Healthy Students Healthy Saugus (HS2) initiative, which provides students and families nutritious food for the weekend, we have delivered another shipment of the reusable bags that HS2 fills for students to take home on Fridays. The work that HS2 does is vitally important for students and families and we are privileged to support their efforts.

Wishing you and your families an enjoyable fall season.
