Please join us for a Housatonic River Cleanup River Saturday, August 19 starting at Wahconah Park. This cleanup is organized by Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) and the Housatonic Valley Association (HVA) with help from the City of Pittsfield and donations from area businesses.
A few crews will use canoes to paddle and pick up trash (water level permitting). Let us know if you want to bring your own canoe or kayak. Lunch and snacks are provided to the volunteers. Work gloves and bags will be provided as well as morning coffee, pastries, and lunch. Old clothes, a hat, sunscreen, old sneakers or waterproof boots or chest waders, a water bottle (or two) and sunglasses are recommended. A limited number of waterproof boots and waders are available to borrow. Volunteers can expect to be in the river as well as on the river banks. You will get wet and dirty!
Registration is not required, but very helpful for planning crews and lunch. Please call HVA at 413-394-9796 or BEAT at 413-230-7321 or send an email to adixon@hvatoday.org or jane@thebeatnews.org. Information is also available at www.thebeatnews.org and www.hvatoday.org. The river clean ups in Pittsfield are cosponsored by the City of Pittsfield and American Rivers (www.americanrivers.org). Blue Q, Alnasco, Panera Bread and Guido’s all provide support for the cleanups.
