COA sponsors cleanup of Ellsworth waterway

ELLSWORTH – The Card Brook Clean-Up will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 28. The event is sponsored by College of the Atlantic and is part of National River Clean-Up Week.

The brook is a tributary of the Union River and flows directly under High and Water streets, draining into the river near Indian Point. Past cleanups have removed tons of garbage, from paper cups and plastic bags to car tires, shopping carts and bed frames.

Volunteers should meet at the information table at the Holiday Inn parking lot and should bring boots and gloves. For information, call Bethany Murray at 288-9874.
