On Saturday afternoon April 3 LPWA members David Nathans, Susan Jaffee, Joesph Godfrey and Steve Howard spent an hour and a half removing trash and construction debris that had accumulated over the years from the wooded area along Wrexham Road. Approximately 10 large garbage bags were filled and along with various pieces of scrap metal and construction debris were left along the side of Wrexham Road. Sarah Lawrence College partnered with LPWA and picked up all the waste material the following Monday morning.

Going forward, we encourage all LPWA members walking along Wrexham Road to please take the initiative and pick up miscellaneous pieces litter and trash that accumulate over time. The best defense against future littering and dumping is to try our best to continuously keep the area as litter free as possible.

Next year we’ll be sure to schedule the clean-up event on a non-holiday weekend to allow more members to participate.
