Site Description
The Coginchaug River runs through Veterans Park, a well-used City park. The banks are mostly well-vegetated with some forested areas, and there are a few bank sections that are a bit steep. The river is boatable and we’ve had people with kayaks join the cleanup in previous years and pick up trash in the water.
Trash Description
In past years we’ve picked up a lot of single use drink containers (cans, nips, glass and plastic bottles), fast food containers, tires, shopping carts, and other miscellaneous items.
Remember to scout your site before you go out to ensure you know the conditions in real time.
