SPRING Marsh Cleanup 2021 Help from Rotary Club

5/25/2021

Scarborough Rotarians partnered with the Friends of Scarborough Marsh, the Town of Scarborough, and the Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center and hit the pavement May 25 Tuesday to help clean up trash and debris along Pine Point Road. Rotary President Reyleigh McKay was very excited as the club gathered for the first time in person since 2020. Many smiles were had as well since the outdoor mask mandate was recently lifted. "While we don't have an official Adopt-A-Road program in Scarborough, the Rotary club wants to ensure we keep our town clean to encourage more guests and visitors to enjoy the trails along the marsh and the Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center for months and years to come.  We hope to make this a monthly event to help keep the Pine Point Road area free from trash and debris", said new Scarborough Rotary member Kathryn Williams.

Friends of Scarborough Marsh did not have an organized clean-up this year due to Covid 19.   But volunteers like the Rotary club pitched in to do their own clean-up.  Gloves and bags are available for you to pick up if you need them at the nature center.  You can of course use your own.  The Department of Public Works picked up bags of trash at the Nature Center on May 3, but arrangements may still be made to clean a section of the marsh.  A reminder to be safe when you are picking up trash near all roads and not to pick up any questionable items. 
 
PLEASE DO NOT PICK UP TRASH ON ROUTE ONE.  The Scarborough Public Works will be working with people who have been trained to do it. The Public Works usually blocks off the road and we do it in a very controlled and safe manner.  

If you have any questions about the clean-up, please contact Linda Woodard at lwoodard@maineaudubon.org (preferred) or call 207-883-5100 and leave a message.
 
Our clean-ups are organized by the Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center, Friends of Scarborough Marsh, Eastern Trail Alliance and the the Town of Scarborough with a special thank you to the Public Works Department.
