APRIL 1st through APRIL 30th
Organized by: The OxfordLand Trust
After litter hits the ground, it piles up along roadsides and enters our
brooks, rivers, and wetlands. All forms of litter can be dangerous to wildlife
and detract from the appearance of our rural community.
Volunteers are needed to make this cleanup a success. This is a perfect opportunity for individuals, groups, businesses, neighbors, and families to get outdoors, help protect our flora and fauna, and makeOxford a beautiful place to live.
All you need to do is fill in the following pledge form and send it back to the designated locations listed below. Check off the various commitment levels
on the back, then follow through with action.
All pledge forms received by May 1st will be entered into a drawing for prizes.
