Come one, come all!  This is your chance to lend a hand to improve the health of the Black River, as volunteers of all ages turn out to haul trash and collect junk from the bed and banks of our favorite waterway.

Check in anytime between 8AM and noon at one of two headquarters — Springfield, at the Citizens Bank drive up by the footbridge in the Shopping Plaza; Ludlow, at the gazebo in the town green at Veterans Memorial Park by the Fletcher Memorial Library.

Stay for an hour or the whole morning- being a BRAT is fun!

Thanks to many local sponsors and supporters, we will once again offer free “thank you” tee shirts to all volunteers, plus lunch and drinking water (bring a bottle to refill!).

Help is still needed to cover the costs of running RiverSweep; if you can donate, please use the PayPal button on the BRAT website or mail a check to BRAT, 101 Perley Gordon Rd, Springfield VT 05156.  For tax-deductible donations, make your check out to (and mail it to) the ONRCD (our fiscal agent, the Ottauquechee Natural Resources Conservation District), 28 Farmvu Rd, White River Jct VT 05001.  Juts note “BRAT” in the memo section, please.

Thank you for your support!
