2013 Neponset River Cleanup Set for August 24

Volunteers are sought for a clean-up of the Neponset River in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, on Saturday, August 24, 2013.

Volunteers should meet at 8:30 a.m. at Martini Shell Park on Truman Pkwy. in Hyde Park, where they will be assigned a clean-up location. Then volunteers will hop in their cars, in someone else’s car, or on their bikes to travel to their work sites. At each site, volunteers will work together to pull large debris out of the river, until 12:30 p.m.

Let us know whether you also can bring a canoe or kayak, as well as any equipment that may come in handy – such as a wheelbarrow; durable rope; heavy-duty, large hooks; come-along winch; garbage pick, etc.
