Swamp Lovers United! Help clean up the Cornwall Swamp parking area on Green Up Day!
Help us clean up a key access point to the Cornwall Swamp! The Cornwall Swamp is part of the largest and most biologically diverse swamp complex in New England and it needs us humans to help keep it free of trash. On Saturday, May 6th, at 10:00 a.m., the Cornwall Conservation Commission will be cleaning up trash and debris, and possibly some larger items, in the parking area on Swamp Road, just before the bridge. We are looking for a few hardy volunteers and at least one pickup truck driver who is willing to drop off the trash and debris at the Cornwall Town Hall after the cleanup. We hope to be finished with the parking area cleanup by noon on Green Up Day, if not earlier.
Wear sturdy gloves, durable long pants, and waterproof boots and bring some Green Up bags. Last year, we had enough people to make short work of the parking lot area, so some of us moved onto cleaning up Swamp Road. Therefore, highly visible clothing is recommended. The Cornwall Conservation Commission will supply extra Green Up green bags, drinking water and yummy snacks. The event will take place rain or shine. If you have questions, contact me at branchkcpc@gmail.com
Thank you in advance!
