Whetstone Brook

Meeting Location

Brattleboro Food Co-op, parking available there. We will gather as a group at 10am and walk down to the river together.

Event Description

We will meet at 10am at the Brattleboro Food Co-op, gather as a group in the back of the parking lot and then walk to the site. Clean-up will continue until noon (12pm). Vermont River Conservancy (VRC) will bring supplies, but volunteers should bring: work gloves, boots or old shoes you don’t mind getting wet (no open toed shoes or sandals), waste bags or buckets if you have them, ideally we will have multiple bags/buckets to separate trash from recycling, and hand sanitizer. Any volunteer who has a truck or vehicle able to haul trash bags to the transfer station would be very helpful and VRC would be very grateful!
