HELP NEEDED FOR FARMINGTON RIVER CLEAN-UP ON October 5th

The Farmington River Watershed
Association’s (FRWA) 26th Annual Farmington River Clean-up is set for Saturday,
October 5th, from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

The Clean-up is a great community event designed to get people and groups of all ages involved in cleaning up litter along the banks of the Farmington River and its tributaries.  Several meeting sites will be actively cleaning the banks of the River in Avon, Barkhamsted, Bloomfield, Burlington, Canton,  Farmington, Granby, Simsbury and Windsor.

Garbage bags and gloves are provided to all participants, through generous

donations from local businesses and stores.


 After the Clean-up, volunteers are
invited to FRWA’s headquarters for a family picnic where refreshments,
sandwiches and pizza will be served. 


FRWA’s office is located at 749 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury, CT.

For more information on how you can help with the Farmington River Clean-up and to register for a specific site, please call FRWA at (860)-658-4442, extension 0 or visit their website at www.frwa.org.
