April 6 River Cleanup Florence Fields to Paradise Pond

March 18, 2019 by JW Sinton

Cleanup The River Banks With Us On Saturday April 6 From 9:00 to 11:00 AM

Meet at the Smith College Museum of Art on Elm St.

MRGI and the Connecticut River Conservancy are co-sponsoring this clean-up effort to kick-off Community Day at the Smith College Museum of Art. We invite you to take action and respond to the challenges raised in the exhibition Plastic Entanglements: Ecology, Aesthetics, Materials at Smith’s Art Museum. Sign-up to volunteer for a morning of trash collection on our local river. Transportation from Smith College will be provided for those who need it. Afterwards, head over to the museum for Community Day to reflect, be inspired, and celebrate your hard work!  Register here by March 23. You are welcome to join us even if you don’t register!

We will be cleaning up the following sites: Florence Fields/Meadow Street near Crimson & Clover farm, Riverside Drive in Bay State, the Dog Park and Burt’s Pit Road area, Maines Field, Smith College Path at Paradise Pond Dam and upstream at end of path at Hinckley St

We’ll provide trash bags and Pedal People will pick them up. Thanks to everyone in advance!

Your MRGI crew
