Due to the past popularity of our Earth Day cleanup, we've expanded our celebration in Portsmouth and added a second cleanup in Rye this year! Join us at one, or both! Individuals, families, large and small groups all welcome. Cleanups will be held rain or shine!

 
 

Update on Friday evening:
We'll be out of the office from now until the Earth Day cleanups, so please just show up at the meeting spots below (no sign up needed at this point.)  We look forward to seeing you!
