Garden Club of Spring Lake earns "Adopt-a-Station" Award from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council

The Garden Club of Spring Lake has received the “Adopt-a-Station” Award from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council (NJCCC) for its efforts to clean and maintain the Spring Lake Rail Station in Monmouth County.

The group is excited to be a part of the Adopt-a-Station program, and aims to assist with general cleanup and beautification of the rail station and its grounds.

“Our volunteers are helping to keep New Jersey clean and green one community at a time,” said NJ Transit Adopt-a-Station Program Coordinator Deborah Eadie-Dixon. “The group demonstrates spirit and community pride by maintaining their local rail station. They are also our eyes and ears when they see issues involving litter.”

The annual Adopt-a-Station Award is presented to a group that has cleaned and maintained public property for at least two years.

“The Garden Club at Spring Lake has shown strong commitment to a cleaner and better New Jersey, and has been a reliable partner for many years,” said NJCCC Executive Director Sandy Huber. “We are proud of all the work the group has done, and look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come.”

NJCCC is a comprehensive, statewide litter-abatement program that has served New Jersey residents and visitors for more than 25 years. Learn more at njclean.org.
