CALLING ADULT VOLUNTEERS!
The Nashua River Watershed Association and the Townsend Conservation Commission seek six to eight adult volunteers to assist with planting of native plants at the Adams Dam site in Townsend. The event will take place from 9:00 to 11:30 am. Volunteers will plant native plants on the slope of the shoreline of the Squannacook River in order to improve the riverside ecosystem. Native plants will help to stabilize the streambank preventing erosion, slowing storm runoff into the river, and they will provide habitat for local wildlife.
We’ll meet at 8:45am at the Adams Dam Park parking area, behind the Farmers Exchange on Rt. 13 in Townsend. Some tools and work gloves will be available for use, but if possible, volunteers are asked to bring their own spades, trowels, and work gloves. Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and a hat; consider long sleeves and long pants, bug repellent, and sunscreen. Be sure to bring drinking water.
This volunteer event is for adults only due to the steep slope of the planting area and proximity to water.
This event is hosted by the Nashua River Watershed Association, with support from the US Department of Agriculture, and in partnership with the Townsend Conservation Commission.
PLEASE enter your best email address for contact purposes to receive updates and any notices of changes in plans due to inclement weather, etc.
Thank you!
