Volunteers will be first asked to help clean litter and debris from the banks of Majors Brook and
the Cold Brook flood expansion area (off of Golden Grove Rd.), followed by the planting of over
500 spruce trees. The event is intended to improve the fish and wildlife habitat in these areas
by increasing the amount of protective cover, shading of the water, and stability of the soils.
Improving the appearance of these areas will also increase public appreciation for their value.
