Green Up Vermont is a state-wide volunteer cleanup day of Vermont’s roads and waterways. As Green Up Vermont’s website says: “We know it isn’t your litter but Vermont needs our help to be beautiful.”
Would you like to volunteer for Green Up Vermont Day?
Visit the Poultney Town Office to pick up bags and let us know where you’ll work. Or email our partners at Lake St. Catherine Association at info@lakestcatherine.org (or contact with them on Facebook) to let them know the roads (or sections of roads) you’d like to work on, and they’ll add you to their volunteer map. Check out the map here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit…
Roads highlighted in blue on the map indicate that the road (or section of road) is being covered by a volunteer. Lake St. Catherine Association, in partnership with the Towns of Poultney and Wells, will coordinate the efforts so we all know what areas are covered, and which areas still need volunteers.
Also, on Green Up Day, there will be two volunteer meet-ups in our area:
Wells: Just like last year, in coordination with the Town of Wells, Lake St. Catherine Association will be hosting a brief kickoff to the day at the Wells Lakeside Park on Little Lake at 8 AM that morning. Please stop in to pick up Green Up bags, fuel up on coffee and muffins from The Wells Country Store to get energized for the day, and meet your fellow volunteers, or stop in to see us to talk about the lake! Green Up Bags are available now at the Town Hall, and will be available at the Park.
Poultney:
From 11 AM - 1 PM on the Town Office Green. The Town, along with Noble Ace Hardware- Poultney VT , Shaw’s Market, and the Poultney Rotary Club will be providing hot dogs, snacks & beverages for volunteers. The Village of Poultney will have a truck parked near the Town Office Green for Green Up bag collection. Green Up Bags are available now at the Town Hall and will also be available on Green Up Day.
So, let us know if you’d like to participate and where you’ll do your clean up, and we’ll add your area to the map. Lake St. Catherine Association will keep the map up-to-date on their Website Calendar on the May 3rd Green Up Vermont Day event.
Let’s all pitch in to get Poultney, Wells and Lake St. Catherine ready for a great summer. Thank you!
