Blackstone Park Shoreline Cleanup | Chris Jordan: Message from the Gyre
12:00pm

One of the best ways to fight plastic pollution is to guard against it entering our waterways in the first place.  Please join us for the Blackstone Park Shoreline Cleanup. Dress in clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty, and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Children under 16 should bring an adult. We will provide trash bags and disposable gloves. Please feel free to bring your own work gloves if you have them, and your own reusable bottle of water. You can assist us in planning by registering at http://cleanup.rsvpify.com
