Our annual trash pickup in Blackstone Park was a water-themed success. A little rain fell, in keeping with our Earth Day tradition, but our spirits were sunny as twenty or so volunteers picked up litter from the riverside and pond’s edge. Some volunteers even went out in a boat to better access tricky parts of the shore. We were entertained by teams of rowers racing in the Seekonk River – and helped by some of their fans and other members of the Narragansett Boat Club.
The Conservancy couldn’t do its job without volunteers to do the heavy lifting – whether it’s first-timers who lift heavy tires out of the muck, or dedicated long-term volunteer staffers who plan and run these events. Many thanks to all who were involved!.
