On Saturday, April 13, the 22nd annual Earth Day Litter Cleanup sponsored by the Westborough Community Land Trust brought out a record-breaking 325 wonderful folks who cleaned up over 400 bags of litter on the roads and trails throughout Westborough. They then enjoyed our third annual Earth Day Volunteer Picnic at the Bay State Commons Green in perfect weather! It was a great day of community, and our town is now more beautiful, and safer for the animals and people who live here.
WCLT thanks the many individuals and families who made time in their busy lives to help with this extremely successful effort. And we would like to recognize the following organizations and businesses that sent cleanup teams: Westborough Connects; Westborough Gurdwara Sahib; Westborough Civic Club; Westborough Rotary Club; Fales and Mill Pond Schools; Cumberland Farms; Crossfit Prototype; E.L. Harvey; EMSEAL; Explorer Post 85; and several Cub, Boy, and Girl Scout troops.
We would also like to thank the businesses who made food donations for the picnic: Arturo’s Ristorante, Tavolino Italian Gourmet, Roche Bros., and both Westborough Stop & Shop stores. Thank you to Mugford’s Flower Shoppe for providing beautiful bouquets for the volunteers. And a big thank you to the Westborough Department of Public Works for donating the trash bags and collecting the full ones.
This day was not only productive but also lots of fun, as neighbors met neighbors and everyone worked together to beautify our town. If you missed it this year, please join us next year by going to westboroughlandtrust.org in April to sign up.
