Source to Sea River Clean Up

[Brendan Mahoney]

Hello there,

For the fifth year (though not fifth year in a row), I am organizing a clean up of the bank of the Connecticut River at its confluence with the Park River. This spot doesn't get the attention that Charter Oak Landing & Riverside Park get, so I think it's due a good annual cleaning. This year promises some good trash, because I didn't organize one of these last year since I went to a wedding. The clean up will take place Oct. 5 from 10am to 1pm.

If you come by car, your best option for parking is either on Charter Oak Ave or Van Dyke Ave. From there, you can walk down the paved access road and up the levee. I'll have some gloves on hand. I advise wearing pants and closed shoes. Also, bring water and perhaps a snack, because I'm a poor student and can't afford a case of water for everyone. Give me a call if you have any questions at 860 729 9603 or email me.

This clean up is part of the larger Source to Sea Clean Up, which is happening all up and down the river on Oct. 5. If Hartford is too far away for you or you just don't like it but still want to clean the river, here are other locations: http://www.ctriver.org/portfolio-items/source-to-sea-cleanup/.

Here's a map illustrating approximately where the access road is and where you should park: http://g.co/maps/f9erq

Hope to see you in a week and a half,

Brendan

Hello again,

For the sixth year (though not in a row), I am organizing a clean up on the Hartford bank of the Connecticut River at its confluence with the Park River. This is part of the Connecticut River Watershed Council's Source to Sea Cleanup. It will take place 10am-1pm on September 27th. Parking is available if you absolutely must arrive by car on Charter Oak Ave & Van Dyke Aves. That corner is also the entrance to the paved path that leads up to the cleanup site. I still highly recommend closed shoes and long pants. However the levee appears to have been mowed relatively recently, so we won't have to contend with the tuckamore-esque undergrowth of years past.

In addition to Trinity students providing their yeomanly effort, we will be joined by a group from Hartford Steam Boiler. So, if you're into reinsurance or specialized equipment insurance, there's going to be the opportunity for some compelling conversation. 

All of information from the previous email is true except the date, so refer to the linked map for more information about the location. Call me or email me if you have any questions.

Hope to see you there,

Brendan
