RIVERSWEEP SCHEDULED for 8/28/10

Mark your calendars, it’s official! This is the 11th Annual RiverSweep, taking place at all points along the Black River in Windsor County, VT. We share our results with our umbrella organization, the CT River Watershed Council, to combine with their trash tally for the annual Source-to-Sea cleanup they do.

As usual, I’ll have an HQ station at the Springfield Shopping Plaza (in the bank drive-up near the footbridge) and at the gazebo on the Town Green in Veterans’ Park in Ludlow. Come on by anytime between 8am and noon to sign in, pick up your free tee shirt and refreshments, grab a pair of workgloves and a trash bag and see where you’d like to work.

Stay for an hour or all morning! Free lunch is generously donated by local businesses, as a ‘thank you’ for donating your time and elbow-grease.

Can’t make it on the 28th? Show your support by mailing us a check in any amount, and we’ll use it to offset the costs of our projects throughout the year. Send it to the BRAT, 45 Coolidge Road, Springfield VT 05156.

Tax-deductible donations may be mailed (with “BRAT” in the memo section) to the CT River Watershed Council, 15 Bank Row, Greenfield MA 01301.

Join the fun as we clean the river from bed to banks and beyond!
