Help Clean Up the Coginchaug River at Veterans Park for Source to Sea Effort!

Join the fun, be part of a "source-to-sea" effort, and help clean the river!  On September 29, 2018, from 9 am to noon, the Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District and Middletown Commission on Conservation and Agriculture are leading a Coginchaug River cleanup at Veterans Park in Middletown. The cleanup is being held in conjunction with the Connecticut River Source to Sea Cleanup.  In case of heavy rain or stormy weather, the cleanup will be postponed until Sunday, September 30, same time.

The City of Middletown Public Works Department has generously offered to provide cleanup supplies, and help by disposing of trash and recyclables.  Any additional donations from businesses to help with the cleanup, such as snacks for the volunteers, would also be appreciated!

Source to Sea Cleanup is an annual four-state community cleanup of the Connecticut River and tributaries coordinated by the Connecticut River Conservancy.  As a volunteer you will be one of thousands working watershed-wide on the same day to clean up our watershed. 

If you would like to participate as a volunteer, please go to the online sign-up page. If you would like to make a donation, please contact the Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District at (860) 346-3282, or ctrivercoastal@conservect.org.
