Volunteers Needed for Fourth Annual Earth Day Cleanup
AsRA invites the community to join them in restoring and protecting the beauty of the Ausable River. “We’re grateful to see so many committed people who care for the river participate in this event each year,” said Madison Stroud, Operations Director at AsRA. “The level of engagement and the thousands of pounds of trash removed each year show the value of the Ausable River to our community.” There are many threats to the river, including climate change, invasive species, undersized culverts, and bank erosion. These cleanups ensure the river can better survive these challenges.
The Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort and IRONMAN Foundation have generously sponsored this year’s cleanup. Lunch for all pre-registered volunteers will be provided by Valley Grocery, cookies by Green Goddess Natural Market, and raffle items by NRS. Several local towns have shown their support, providing free waste disposal and other services that will make the event run smoothly.
The cleanup will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on April 20, 2024, with registration opening at 9:30 a.m. Volunteers will meet at the Community Center pavilion in Keene for registration and lunch.
