Source to Sea Cleanup - Help Clean the Watershed
Year 21 brings exciting collaboration when Franklin County lovers of clean open-space join forces at the Greenfield Swimming Area on Nash's Mill Road. After morning refreshments, small groups will head to their respective communities to do the important work of removing debris from riversides and roadways to prevent contamination of our treasured water bodies. All volunteers are invited to return to the swimming area for lunch, camaraderie and live music provided by Tuff Riddim International. Trash collected from the greater Gill - Montague area will be collected by volunteers with trucks and brought to the Montague Transfer Station for recycling and disposal in the Cleanup's dumpsters. Debris from the Greenfield area will be brought back to the Swimming area for pickup by the Greenfield DPW. People of all ages and abilities can join in and those with trucks can help transport trash. Weekday cleanups can also be scheduled for interested school groups. Co-sponsors include watershed-wide organizers; the Connecticut River Conservancy, FirstLight Power, the Franklin County Solid Waste Management District, Student Conservation Association/Americorps, and the Deerfield River Watershed Association.
