All of the st...Thanks for your thoughtful support. All of the students and faculty and some staff do these community service clean up projects as part of a full day-long observance of Earth Day. There are lectures, dorm discussions, and a community wide project. The actual work time on the roads and honeysuckle (and this year they also planted in some community gardens and in our own new campus garden)extended from 12:30 PM to about 3:00. As a faculty member I was one of the ones driving a truck to pick up the bags of trash (not to mention the other items tossed along the roadside which were part of the haul). On my route, we picked up from the baseball field in Sharon Valley to the Hotchkiss campus and also from beyond Town Hill Farm on Route 112 to Route 44. Another truck picked up from groups that went to Millerton and to Salisbury. You will remember that we had a cold, rainy, blustery day this year so I suspect we worked a little faster than we usually do, but I can assure you there was a very full, very big dumpster of trash at the end of our day. Thanks again for your support of the work done by these students and adults.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108138440401127108.post-77227818681531704622009-04-24T15:53:00.000-04:002009-04-24T15:53:00.000-04:00The entire day is devoted to "Earth Day".
