Help Us Protect the Estuary (And Weir and Willow!): Annual Watershed Clean Up
The Weir River and Straits Pond are vital habitats for local wildlife, but they need our help to stay clean. On April 18th, we’re mobilizing to remove trash from our banks and prevent plastic pollution from entering the Atlantic.
Schedule of Events:
-
9:00 AM: Check-in at the Weir River Estuary Center. Pick up your supplies and get the latest watershed information.
-
9:30 AM – 12:00 PM: Restoration in action! Groups will deploy to stations in Hull, Cohasset, and Hingham to clear debris from our ponds and riverfronts.
-
12:00 PM: Community Cookout & Ice Cream Social at 150 Atlantic Ave, Hull Playground
What to Bring: To ensure a successful haul, please bring boots, gloves, and a rake or grabber. We’ll provide the bags at the Estuary Center.
Special thanks to Nona’s Ice Cream for providing sweet rewards for our hard-working volunteers!
The new water company will be named after its source...
the Weir River!
Our campaign to name the water company after it's source was successful! Read about the new name here.
By raising people's awareness of the source of their water we hope it will help to increase stewardship for the resource that sustains our water -
the Weir River.
