[/caption]Over the years, we've pulled out some pretty gross stuff during our annual cleanups...but we've also found some pretty cool stuff! Join me for a free walking tour of some of Springfield's historical industrial sites as we explore our area's heritage and how it relates to what we're discovering in the river. Meet at the Comtu Cascades mini-park next to 1 Main St on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 10 a.m. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a camera and a bottle of drinking water if you wish. I expect we'll be out for about 2 hours, so a snack might be in order, as well! While the event is free, I would really appreciate knowing that you plan to come, so let me know by leaving a message at (802) 885-1533 or blackrivercleanup@yahoo.com.
A river is an intricate puzzle, with many pieces or elements coming together in various ways to influence each other and the overall system.
