The Wallingford Conservation Commission is planning the Annual Green Up Day for Saturday, May 1, 2021. Distribution of Green Up Bags and participant sign-up will occur at the Gilbert Hart Library at the corner of 140 W and South Main Street from 8:30 am to 11:30 am on May 1, 2021. If you cannot be at the Library to sign up and pick up bags but want to participate, please call Carol Macleod at 446-2658 to arrange pick up or delivery prior to or after 5/1/2021.

Thank you so very much for helping make Green Up Day happen again this year. These past few years, with warmer temperatures melting our snowbanks, make it evident that we are in desperate need of Green Up Day.

Here are some details to keep you up-to-date:

* Green Up day WILL be held on Saturday May 1 with all of last year's Covid safety protocols: Mask, distance, gloves, caution.
* Stay safe in the sun, even if it is cloudy. Use plenty of sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, even if it is overcast. Protect your face and eyes from the sun with a hat and sunglasses. Cover up with long sleeves and long pants.
* Be careful near roadways. review road safety rules with children before you head out. Wear light or bright-colored clothing. Work facing on-coming traffic.
* Know what to do with needles. To safely dispose of a needle: Use gloves and pliers or tongs to pick up needle. Place needle in a thick plastic container, screw the lid on and tape it shut with duct tape. Write "do not recycle" on the container and toss it in the regular trash.
*Be Tick Smart. Protect yourself with an EPA-registered repellent and wear long pants. Check your whole body for ticks when the day is done. Remove any ticks as soon as you can using tweezers. Watch for symptoms of tickborne illness and tell your doctor if you feel sick.

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN GREEN UP DAY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU! AND, HAVE FUN!
