The Green River Clean Up

Eaglebrook students participated in the annual Green River Clean Up on Saturday, September 26. The GRC is part of a larger event, the Source to Sea Clean Up, sponsored by the Connecticut River Watershed Council, which seeks to clean up the areas surrounding the Connecticut River and its feeder rivers. Sustainability Coordinator Matt McKelvey took the group of students to the clean up. “It was a great trip,” he said. “We ended up working tributary of the Green River, where we removed about 200 pounds of metal from the river bottom (old fencing and an old iron stove). We also found a crawfish stuck in a plastic bag and was able to successfully free it. All in all, the boys were energetic and helpful,” he concluded.
