Earth Day Roadside Cleanup
A Friends of Acadia Community Volunteer Project
Saturday, April 28, 2012
8:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Please join us on Saturday, April 28 for Friends of Acadia's 12th annual Earth Day Roadside Cleanup. Bring your family, friends, or a team from your office! This year, teams will cover roadsides in the MDI, Trenton, Ellsworth, and Schoodic areas. For more information or to register, contact Terry Begley at 207-288-3340 or terry@friendsofacadia.org.

In 2011, more than 300 volunteers participated in Friends of Acadia's 10th annual Earth Day Roadside Cleanup. The volunteers picked up over 650 bags of trash, plus an assortment of other “junk” from over 100 miles of roadsides. The event has become, for many people, an annual rite of spring.

You can celebrate Earth Day—all year long—by keeping our roadsides trash-free. Please dispose of your garbage appropriately. Recycle and compost whatever you can, and place the remainder in trash cans or dumpsters. Or, you can walk out the front door of your home or business towards the next street or even the next driveway—trash bag in tow—and hold your own pick-up. We all have the power to make a difference in our communities.
