Cornwall Democrats Call for Volunteers
JULY 21, CORNWALL—The Cornwall Democratic Committee will coordinate a volunteer stream cleanup near Idlewild Creek (also known as Canterbury Brook) on the morning of Saturday, July 21 at 8am.
“Keeping litter out of our waterways and roadsides helps show Cornwall at its best,” said Jonathan Chase, Committee Chair. “It also keeps trash from washing down into the Hudson River, where it can interfere with our record-setting striped bass fishing!”
The Committee has put out a call for volunteers for this non-partisan service event. The crew will assemble beside the brook at Chadeayne Circle and Main Street, and proceed up Continental Avenue alongside the stream, bagging litter for pickup by the Town of Cornwall. Tools and bags will be provided, but the Committee encourages volunteers to bring their own equipment if desired, such as work gloves, dust masks, safety glasses, and rakes. The event is expected to last up to two hours.
“We are grateful to the Town for teaming up to remove and safely dispose of the refuse we collect,” said Virginia Scott, who is coordinating the cleanup. “This is a great opportunity for environmentally-minded kids and adults, and anyone who wants to keep Cornwall beautiful.”
