It's been a bit of a crazy spring so far... Being outside in shorts and a tee shirt one day, then driving through a snowy mix the next.

As we work to clean up for the season, there is a great 50+ year Vermont tradition called Green Up Vermont Day - which is just 2 weeks away on Saturday, May 7th. Each year on the first Saturday of May, volunteers throughout Vermont walk through their community to clean up litter.

As Green Up Vermont's website says:

"We know it isn't your litter but Vermont needs our help to be beautiful!"

Last year, the Lake St. Catherine Association worked to organize volunteers to participate and clean up the roads around the lake - and we had a great turnout! We had volunteers for almost all the roads around the lake.

This year, we are looking to have all the roads covered, and also expand to cover more roads in Wells & Poultney.

We'd like to thank the town of Wells for reaching out to partner on Green Up Vermont Day this year!

Thanks to the town of Wells, we will be hosting a brief kickoff to the day at the Wells Lakeside Park at 8 AM that morning. Please stop in to pick up Green Up bags and fuel up on coffee and muffins from the Wells Country Store to get energized for the day! Please let us know if you'll be joining us so we can get a count.

We are off to a great start with volunteers! We have volunteers to cover many areas around the lake, but we are looking for more. Sections of RT 30 on the east side of the lake, and North Street on the west side are still looking for volunteers. We are also look for folks to participate on roads away from the lake in Wells and Poultney.

Bags are now available for pickup at the Wells & Poultney Town Halls.

Email us at info@lakestcatherine.org to volunteer for an available area, and we'll add you to the map (blue lines indicate coverage of that road): https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1ZbmrMWUAGtWlaMECUiDCTJ_5jMGMU7up&usp=sharing

We hope you can join this effort on May 7th!
