Annual River Clean Up

Since 2018, Planet New Canaan has teamed up with Surfrider Foundation for a river clean up in the area. Volunteers, some wearing waders, collected garbage in and around the Five Mile River. The garbage was sorted and tabulated. A data analysis from what was collected gave us a better understanding of the items entering our rivers. Over 550 pounds of trash was collected over a two-hour period in a recent clean-up. Items included plastic bags, plastic bottles, tires, chairs and even a yoga mat.
