Mystic River Spring Cleanup
Friends of the Mystic River is holding its 19th annual Mystic River Spring Cleanup from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, 2014.
Meet at Mystic Riverbend Park, adjacent to the Hormel Stadium parking lot, to sign in and pick up bags, gloves, and instructions. Work will focus on Mystic Riverbend Park and MacDonald Park across Route 16, but participants may travel to any other location they wish along the Mystic in Medford and clean there. At the end of the event, organizers will make the rounds to collect all bags of trash that have been filled and return them to the Hormel site for pickup by the Medford DPW.
Morning and lunchtime refreshments will be provided at the Hormel site.
In case of heavy rain on April 26, the cleanup will take place on Sunday, April 27, at the same same location and times.
Friends of the Mystic River (www.fomr.org) is a Medford-based community organization focused on the enjoyment, protection and enhancement of the Mystic River in Medford.
