ReplyRemoved lots of little litter all around the main parking and park grounds on the east side of the pond. It looks much, much better, but more areas to be done in a second cleanup to be announced. Although it was just the first day of fishing season there must have been a half mile of discarded lines in the sand, tangled in the bushes, and floating at waters edge. Most interesting litter: cute baby sock with green and blue polka dots. Most disgusting: discarded bags of dog poop, dirty diapers, tampon cases. Hardest to reach: bottles tossed into multiflora rose bushes. Most frustrating: smashed glass. About half the litter was recycled; half was true trash. The more we keep it clean the less litter we'll have. Visitors appreciated the effort and asked questions about the trails and park signs; one even took a bag to pick up trash on her own!

ReplyThanks to all the great volunteers of BOW who helped with important stewardship projects in our community! Last year's trail building project at Veterans Memorial Park was yet another shining example of this cooperative effort. Over twenty enthusiastic volunteers worked all morning and the trail was completed. Although I am saddened to see the group disband, please accept my thanks on behalf of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust and the Town Veterans Memorial Park Committee for all your excellent work!

So what are your best suggestions for 'dark sky' viewing in Barrington? In Rhode Island?
