The Otisfield Conservation Committee has scheduled a cleanup of town roads from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 7. The rain date is May 14.
There is a lot of trash on the side of the roads as it has been three years since the last organized road cleanup, according to a news release from the committee.
Volunteers should wear boots, gloves, and bug spray as the sides of the roads may still be wet. Trash bags, water and plastic gloves will be provided by the town.
Participants should meet at 9 a.m. at the Otisfield Community Hall on Route 121.
The members of the Otisfield Social Outreach Committee (Community Lunch Group) will feed the volunteers lunch at the Community Hall after the cleanup.
The committee also needs to know those who are able to bring a pick-up truck that day to transport trash to the Casco Bulky Waste and the Otisfield Transfer Station.
Those planning to help with efforts and having lunch are asked to email Maureen Mooney-Howard at jimandmoe@gmail.com.
