Green Up Day Postponed to May 30. 

Contact Becky Bertrand 349-9468 and Heather Bouchard 623-8152

With so many closings and the Governor’s “stay home, stay safe” order, Green Up Vermont is unable to distribute Green Up Day supplies until the first week in May. Town coordinators will be communicating how people can pick up bags safely with social distance, along with plans for trash collection on May 30.

With Covid-19 and the precarious health situations in our world today, please use logical precautions and stay informed on what the Vermont Dept. of Health is recommending. Visit http://www.greenupvermont.org for information on safety, ways to communicate, and other fun information. Thank you to all who get out and Green Up to keep our state looking beautiful as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Green Up Day.

An easy way to support Green Up Vermont is on line 23 of your Vermont Tax Form.

OTHER INFORMATION:

Birthday Boxes (our special gifts to you) for all towns will be delivered to Town Offices in mid May.
