28 Years of Cleanup Efforts
Since 1997, groups of volunteers have come together to remove trash from local rivers in support of clean water and healthy habitats throughout the Connecticut River watershed – in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Cleanup efforts help to advocate for environmental policy that stops pollution at the source.
2024 Cleanup ChronicleTrash Advocacy All Year Round
While the Source to Sea Cleanup is all about picking up trash in our waterways, streets, and parks – it is also part of a greater effort that includes recycling our waste, speaking up for legislative actions to reduce pollution, and advocating for producers to develop products that are less harmful for the environment.
