PRWC Seeks Volunteers for Cedarland Park

The Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition (PRWC) is seeking volunteers to assist with establishing a streamside buffer from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 25 and from 9 a.m. to noon Fridays, July 24 through August 14, at Cedarland Park. All are welcome and may come and go as they please.

Volunteers will assist by replacing invasive species with native species to buffer flooding and erosion on a riverbed.

Those volunteering will likely get their feet wet and are cautioned about ticks and poison ivy present at the site.

The PRWC recommends bringing water, work gloves and a preferred garden tool such as a shovel, garden rake or spade.

Parking is available at Union Square at the intersection of Main Street South and Peter Road.

Cedarland Park is accessible by a walk on River Trail. Signs placed behind Walgreens and Union Savings Bank will mark the way.

Those seeking additional information or to volunteer may email outreach@pomperaug.org or call 203-263-0076.
