In celebration of Day of Caring, April 21, and Earth Day, April 22, several civic groups plan to pick up trash from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 22, everywhere in the Cobbossee Watershed.
Groups include Upstream, Gardiner Main Street, Boys and Girls Club of KV, Gardiner Rotary, Friends of Cobbossee Watershed, Kennebec Valley Trout Unlimited and Kennebec Land Trust.
Upstream will be downtown at Gardiner’s Bridge Street bridge ready to send volunteers to 13 nearby locations. For other clean up spots in the watershed, contact an area local nonprofit.
In 2022, 107 volunteers and a dozen nonprofits joined hands to clean up 31 locations in five towns. Volunteers of all ages pulled out more than 2,100 pounds of trash from Cobbossee Stream and Watershed, according to a news release from Upstream.
Also on April 22, Upstreams’ Rally to Welcome Back the Fish will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on the Bridge Street bridge.
