Dear Friend,
Happy Earth Month! We have so much to share! To start, we had a great time during our March litter cleanup – it was a sunny & brisk day and our team of volunteers covered a ton of ground. We welcomed a handful of Salem Academy students, some new volunteers, and caught up with litter-busting friends who are ready to tackle some serious ground with us in 2026!
April 2026 Cleanup:
The next litter cleanup will take place on April 18th at 10 AM!
