Join South Hero Land Trust and your friends and neighbors for a community clean-up effort on Saturday, May 2nd! South Hero Land Trust is organizing this annual clean-up of South Hero’s streets and shoreline, and they are looking for volunteers to join them on May 2nd. An hour of your time will make a huge difference in cleaning up our community in time for spring and summer walking and biking. This year there are four ways that you can help.
1. Sign up for a street or section of street near your home or where you walk. Bags will be available at the South Hero Land Trust office. Please have filled bags ready for pick-up by noon on the 2nd.
2. Join the South Hero Recreation Commission for a group trail clean-up at Round Pond State Park. This will be a great chance to gather with other community members for a fun volunteer effort. This group will be picking up trash along the trail entrance, and cleaning winter debris from the trails. Bags and clippers will be provided, gloves and boots are recommended! The Round Pond State Park Clean-Up will begin at 8:45 on May 2. Please join the Commission at the entrance to the park- look for the orange gate on East Shore Road. This is a great opportunity for any middle school students needing volunteer hours, although we do ask for parents to accompany any young volunteers.
3. Join the Lake Champlain Land Trust for a Wild Parsnip Round Up! LCLT staff and volunteers will be digging up the invasive wild parsnip plants in the fields at Round Pond State Park- as part of our joint effort to minimize it’s impact on the native plant populations in the wetland. They will be meeting at the corner of East Shore Road and Landon Road at 8:45 in the morning. Join this effort to help protect the unique natural resources of South Hero! Please bring gloves, and a shovel if you have one. Some shovels will be available.
4. Join South Hero Land Trust staff and board for a family clean-up of White’s Beach. This is a great change to introduce young children to Green-Up Day in a safe and fun environment. Join SHLT at 9:45 to clean up this great community resource. Bags will be provided, please bring gloves.
Please call Minner or Emily at 372-3786, or email emily@shlt.org to sign up for any of these great ways to participate.
Afterwards join South Hero Land Trust for a celebratory BBQ at the Folsom School Playground. Free burgers, hot dogs, and veggie burgers will be served fresh off the grill from 11:00-12:30. The BBQ is held to thank the dedicated Green-Up volunteers for keeping South Hero beautiful and caring for the community landscape.
