My friend Charles Shattuck, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Hockessin, reminds me that the annual Red Clay Valley Clean Up will be held starting on Saturday, March 29. Volunteers are welcome; assemble at 8 a.m. at Anson Nixon Park in Kennett or the Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin to get your gloves, bags, t-shirts and road assignments.
"We're picking up trash on over 65 miles of roads and stream beds from Kennett Square to Greenbank Mills in Wilmington," Charles says. "Last year over 700 volunteers collected 13 tons of trash and since its inception, those many years ago; the cleanup has removed over 342 tons of litter. Discarded trash is not only unsightly to you but is potentially harmful to fish and wildlife."
Also the same weekend (I've mentioned these two events before): a free Hadley Fund concert by pianist Thomas Pandolfi at London Grove Friends Meeting at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 29, and the 69th running of the Cheshire Point-to-Point Races on Sunday, March 30.
