Saturday September 29, 2007
Join hundreds of individuals, clubs, troops, students, and businesses to clean up the Connecticut River and its tributaries!  We started doing this in 1997 to take care of our favorite local treasure.  The Source to Sea Cleanup is fun and it involves people of all ages and abilities working together to do something good for their community.  So mark your calendars and we’ll see you on September 29th!

CRWC coordinates events in all 4 states of the watershed on or near the date of the cleanup.  We try to help groups get started and give them assistance and supplies when possible.  If you’re busy on September 29, you can conduct your own cleanup on another day.

To organize a cleanup

Click here to register online. We’ve put together materials to help you organize a cleanup on September 29 in the Connecticut River watershed.  See the links below.

Please register your group before September 1, 2007.  We’d like to know who you are and where you will be cleaning up trash.  Late registrations are accepted, but it helps us organize better if we know early which groups are participating.
