Spring Cleaning

Spring snowmelt reveals accumulated detritus from winter months. Leaves, trash, dog waste, road sand -- all will end up in the nearest waterway without some help. It’s time for spring cleaning. You can adopt a stormdrain or stretch of roadside to clean up the litter and protect our waters. In Vermont each town has an organized Green Up on the first Saturday in May (this year's event will be held on May 7), but you don’t have to wait until then. Get together with some friends and spend a few hours making your community cleaner and safer. Pitching in personally makes a difference!
