OTISFIELD — The Otisfield Conservation Committee has scheduled its annual clean-up of town roads for Saturday, May 3, 9 a.m. to noon. The rain date is May 17. Unfortunately, once again, there is a lot of trash on the side of our roads. Our beautiful town needs your help!

It is suggested that volunteers wear boots, gloves, and bug spray as the sides of the roads may still be wet. Trash bags, safety vests, and plastic gloves will be provided by the town. We ask that you bring your own sustainable water containers. We will meet at 8:45 a.m. at the Otisfield Community Hall on Route 121.

Want to clean up your own road that day or on another day? Please do and then join us for lunch. The members of the Otisfield Social Outreach Committee (Community Lunch Group) will be feeding the volunteers lunch at the Community Hall after the clean-up. Gluten-free and vegetarian options will be available. Please let us know if you will be joining us for lunch to ensure that we have the right amount of food.

Please email Maureen Mooney-Howard at [email protected] if you are planning to help with our efforts to clean up all that unsightly litter. We are looking forward to seeing you on the 3rd and we thank you ahead of time for your help in making our beautiful town even more beautiful.
