CAN-ShoreRivers Cleanup at Long Wharf – April 2

Posted on by

CAN is organizing a group of volunteers to participate in the ShoreRivers Cleanup project on Saturday, April 2 (rain date April 9).

We’ll meet at 9 am in the parking lot at Long Wharf (adjacent to where the Nathan docks). We plan to remove trash and debris from the area, as well as trim some of the growth back in the bioswales.

We will have trash bags, as well as a limited supply of gloves and “grabbers.” If you have a pair of work gloves handy, I’d recommend you bring those in the event what we have does not fit. Any additional supplies are welcome too!

Please join us and register at the following link:

Dear Readers:

I have written about, and, hopefully, you have heard about the Campaign for Grade Level Reading that has come to Dorchester County and Cambridge. It is a national effort that requires communities that want to join show that they have the capacity to do what is needed over the long haul. Dorchester County and Cambridge, thanks to the J2W Foundation, has been selected for this effort.

Attached please see a press release from the Dorchester Campaign for Grade Level Reading and share it with friends and neighbors..

Thanks.
