Earth Day Mission 2012: "Operation Clean Beach"

Barrington Land Conservation Trust

Eastern Shore of Allins Cove and Third Street Access

(Don't go to 15 Eton Road, there is no street address for Allins Cove so it could not be given or added. Go to the end of Third Street in the Alfred Drown neighborhood.)

Winter storms and spring tides always wash up debris large and small onto the shoreline. Plastic litter and fishing line poses a threat to birds. Help us welcome all visitors to this local treasure by participating in this shoreline rescue operation! Wear sturdy outdoor clothes; bring gloves and a couple of big black trash bags. Don't forget to wear bug spray to avoid Lyme disease carried by ticks; we will also have some on hand. Water resistant or waterproof shoes would be handy, but not required - we will also clear upland areas of litter. Bring your other favorite 'trash' tools such as a rake, lacrosse racket or trash grabber that can extend your reach into the reeds, wet areas or rose bushes. We will try to separate out recyclable materials from the trash. This project is suitable for everyone. Please honor all neighborhood parking restrictions. There are just two beach access spaces at the end of Willow Way.  Please park along Third Street or Pleasant Street. We will meet at the end of Third Street. For questions, please contact Helen Tjader 401-480-8329 and helen@acornnpsolutions.com
