Help Spring-Clean Park Honoring Vets

The Barrington Land Conservation Trust is looking for volunteers to help clean up Veterans Memorial Park on Saturday morning, May 25.

Memorial Day weekend -- the unofficial start of summer -- is here, but the Barrington park honoring veterans will still get a spring cleaning on Saturday.

Volunteers are needed to help the Barrington Land Conservation Trust clean up the park from 10 am to noon. 

“It’s a great project for families or groups,” said Beth Rondeau of the Land Trust.

Black trash bags will be provided or feel free to bring your own.

“We'll try to separate recyclables from true trash, such as fishing line tangled along the shoreline,” she said. “If there is time, we’ll do some basic trail maintenance – tossing of sticks and trimming back overgrowth.”
