Volunteers are needed to assist in picking up roadside litter along a stretch of highway in the Town of Springwater that Springwater Trails is in the process of adopting. We will meet at the Fire Hall parking lot at 9AM for a mandatory safety briefing presented by NYS DOT. They will provide the required hard hats and safety vests. You will want to bring gloves. NYS DOT will also provide the collection bags and pick up. The plan is to work from 9AM-12PM, lunch at Sammy’s, and (if needed) work from 1PM-4PM. Ask your friends to join us. So NYS DOT can be given an approximate number of participants, please let Wendy know if you plan on helping out – [email protected] .
Doors open at 7:30
