Green Up 2024

Green Up 2024

Vermont is a special place, and the Green Up Day event is a fine example of why that is the case. A huge thank you for your part in making this happen in 2024.

We have 68 roads (or road sections), and we managed to cover most of them. To try and get the rest covered, we changed Green Up Day to Green Up May! Many folks will be going into the town office to pay their taxes. There will be a poster about Green Up May with a sign-up for the roads that weren’t covered.

When you finished your route, we asked what you saw most frequently…beverage containers were hands down the winner. Budweiser and Twisted Tea take the cake. We asked how many bags you picked up. We have had from 2 to 9 bags on a single route. Lastly, we asked what was the most unusual item you found….mattress, television, garbage cans, tires, tanks and carpet…..But, we also heard about the pleasure people took walking our back roads and tending open areas.

As we drive down the clean roads, we can be proud of what we accomplished. If you have any suggestions for next year’s Green Up May please send them to us! You can contact Stephanie Knockenhaur, head of the Town’s Recreations department at 802- 384-0205, or Bonnie DayaEmig of the CCCA at bdayaemig@gmail.com.

Again, thanks to all of you for joining in. Thanks to the town office and Recreation department for helping with food, copies and postings. Thanks to the hands-on helpers for Saturday morning…committee members of the CCCA, Bruce McEnaney, Betty McEnaney for supplying templates and her expertise and passion and to the Windsor youth group who tackled Greven Field and a special thank you to the Owens for bringing chocolate brownie cake and Michael Macnamara for his blueberry lemon cake, treats enjoyed by many!

Spread the work that Green Up Day isn’t over and Green Up May is continuing. Signup and bags are at the town office.
