Join Us Saturday, April 19, 2024
The Ausable Freshwater Center (AFC), in partnership with our sponsors Casella, Hannaford, Origin Coffee Co., and NRS, is hosting a cleanup along the roadsides of the West Branch, East Branch, and Main Stem Ausable River in the communities of Keene, Lake Placid, Wilmington, Upper Jay, and Jay. This cleanup is an opportunity to give back to our local communities by picking up and removing trash that has built up throughout the winter. Last year, we brought together over 100 volunteers to pull thousands of pounds of garbage from around the Ausable River watershed in North Elba, Keene, Jay, and Wilmington. We plan to remove thousands of pounds of garbage again this year, connecting our community with tangible ways to steward the river, create a cleaner and healthier river, and provide a safer experience for cyclists, anglers, and all those enjoying the beauty of the area. But we need your help!
