The calendar may say winter but Haverhill’s Brightside is gearing up for its annual spring Earth Day Cleanup in April.
The first organizational meeting is Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 9:30 a.m. at the Haverhill Citizens Center, 10 Welcome St., Haverhill. On the agenda is an update on the status of sponsors and a general discussion of what needs to be done between now and the event, according to Haverhill Brightside organizer David P. LaBrode.
This year’s Earth Day Clean Up takes place Saturday, April 25. The yearly event involves upwards of 400 people who are organized in teams to clean up litter and leaves at more than 50 sites across the city, including traffic islands, neighborhood pocket parks and other recreational spaces from Bailey Boulevard and the Buttonwoods Trail to Windsor and Wysocki parks. Each volunteer is given an event shirt.
