Third Annual Silver Creek Cleanup on Saturday April 25 from 9 am to noon.

Save Bristol Harbor, in conjunction with the Town of Bristol and the DPW’s “Keep Bristol Clean” program, is conducting its Third Annual Silver Creek Cleanup on Saturday, April 25, 2009. (In the event of rain, the cleanup will be held on May 2, 2009.) Those who are interested in assisting with the Silver Creek cleanup should contact Stan Dimock at 837-5838 or email him at sdimock@savebay.org. Volunteers assisting with the cleanup at Silver Creek should assemble at Thomas Park (directly across Hope Street from the Sip-n-Dip donut shop) at 9AM sharp. Following a brief safety briefing, the volunteers will fan out along the north and south sides of Silver Creek, retrieving whatever trash they encounter along the way. Trash bags, gloves, sunscreen, and bug spray will be provided, as will light refreshments. Volunteers should wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the marshy environment. Last year’s Silver Creek cleanup was a tremendous success. We’re counting on your support again this year as part of the “Keep Bristol Clean” town-wide Earth Day event! The cleanup will run from 9AM to noon.
