For nearly 40 years, the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association's (QRWA) semi-annual cleanups have helped remove the flood of rubbish assailing the Quinnipiac River and its tributaries. This year, the event spanned five locations in five towns — Meriden, New Haven, Cheshire, Wallingford and Plainville. More than 100 volunteers pulled, picked and dragged more than 3,000 pounds of garbage out of bushes, banks, trails and beaches — from candy wrappers and soda cans to old tires, radiators and couches.
Thankfully the QRWA and a revolving army of concerned citizens are steadfast stewards of our community's precious resource. Learn more.
