Pequonnock River Cleanup

The Pequonnock River is one of Trumbull’s greatest natural resources and is enjoyed by thousands bikers and hikers who travel the rail trail through the Pequonnock River Valley State Park. An extensive initiative for cleaning up the river is being undertaken by the communities through which the river flows, which includes monitored water testing and plans to stem excess runoff. GyG (the Grace Youth Group) is partnering with the CT Fund for the Environment and Save Our Sound  to take just a small part in this important initiative on September 24th.    Please join with other green minded Trumbull citizens as we roll up our sleeves – and maybe our pants legs – to pick up debris and trash that has accumulated in a section of the river at the northern end of town. We’re going to be green and bike to this event. Our bikepool leaves Trumbull Center at 1:30 (at the head of the rail trail). For those who cannot bike, you can meet us at Spring Hill Park (across the street from the Trumbull Transfer Station) at 2 pm. Parking will be available in the Public School Bus lot. Gloves and supplies can be provided for you if we know you’re coming.
