The Roxbury Conservation Commission needs volunteers to work on June 4, 2016. We are building Joey’s Trail, a 1/3 mile loop trail connecting the Roxbury Senior Center, Booth Free School, and Minor Memorial Library.

Volunteers will gather at 8:30 AM on June 4 in the back parking lot of Minor Memorial Library, 23 South Street, Roxbury. Volunteers on June 4 will work to clear brush and undergrowth along the planned trail route. Additional work days will be scheduled to construct 150 feet of boardwalk.

If you have them, please bring brush clearing tools, shovels, wheel barrows, and rakes. Refreshments will be served.

We are assembling small groups of volunteers to gather water samples and assess the macroinvertebrate (aquatic insect) population at several locations on the Shepaug River and its tributaries. After a training session at town hall, participants will travel in teams to sampling sites. After the collection, everyone will return to town hall where specimens will be processed. This is a unique chance to participate in citizen science and learn more about the most prominent (and most important) geographical feature of the Region 12 area. Samples are sent to the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection for further evaluation and as an enduring record of the health of the Shepaug River.
Waders and nets will be supplied. Wear appropriate outdoor clothing. Snacks and lunch will be provided. The time commitment is 9 AM to approximately 1:30 PM. This is a terrific, hands-on service learning opportunity for high school students, scouts, anglers, hikers, or any other individuals or groups interested in the protection of our local rivers and watershed. Volunteer participants will be directly involved in the critical role of monitoring the health of our area rivers.
Please contact Trudy Swenson for further details and enrollment. Please provide an email address and phone number for contact in case of cancellation or postponement.
