Local conservation groups are seeking volunteers for a clean up of the Clyde River, upstream of Salem Lake in Derby. Join us on Saturday, September 9 for a scenic paddle and a gratifying experience of collecting debris while also learning about riparian zones and streambank best management practices from local conservation specialists.
Last year, we collected 24 tires, over 20 yards of plastic tubing, plastic bags, beer cans, an old tea kettle and pan, a kitty litter box, grain bags, lawn chairs, and foam insulation. We had a blast getting soaked and hauling trash!
The event is hosted by the Memphremagog Watershed Association, Orleans County Natural Resources Conservation District, and NorthWoods Stewardship Center. If you are interested in volunteering for the event, contact Patrick Hurley at phurley@mwavt.org or 781-389-4494
