GREEN UP VERMONT DAY – MAY 2nd
Green Up Vermont is a state-wide volunteer cleanup day of Vermont’s roads and waterways.
We’ve had FANTASTIC turnouts over the past several years, with volunteers signing up to cover every road around the lake and additional roads in Wells – and we’re looking to do it again this year.
Would you like to volunteer for Green Up Vermont Day?
If so, email us at info@lakestcatherine.org, and let us know the roads (or sections of roads) you’d like to work on, and we’ll add you to our volunteer map (see below). You can also visit the Wells Town Halls to pick up bags, and let them know where you’ll work.

Roads highlighted in blue on the map indicate that the road (or section of road) is being covered by a volunteer. We’ll do our best to coordinate the efforts so we all know what areas are covered, and which areas need volunteers.
As we did last year, in coordination with the Town of Wells, we will be hosting a brief kickoff to the day at the Wells Lakeside Park on Little Lake at 8 AM that morning. Please stop in to pick up Green Up bags, fuel up on coffee and muffins from the Wells Country Store to get energized for the day, and meet your fellow volunteers, or stop in to see us to talk about the lake! Green Up Bags are available now at the Town Hall, and will be available at the Park that morning. Also, the Wells Village Library will have high-visibility vests and grabber reacher tools to borrow.

Little Lake – Wells Lakeside Park Shoreline Cleanup – Saturday, June 20th
The Lake St. Catherine Association (LSCA), the Lake St. Catherine Conservation Fund (LSCCF), and The Delaney Committee are organizing a volunteer event to clean up the shoreline at the Wells Lakeside Park on Little Lake on Saturday, June 20th, beginning at 9 AM.
We’ll be looking for volunteers to help with this effort, including equipment that could be borrowed to assist with the cleanup.
Helpful items to assist in the effort would be floating mats, ‘lake rakes’, large plastic tubs, and of course the elbow grease of lots of volunteers.
The Delaney Committee will be providing ice-cold bottled water, and will also dispose of all the milfoil and debris volunteers remove from the lake.
If you’d like to volunteer, or have items that you can loan to help with this cleanup, please let us know at info@lakestcatherine.org.
Please mark your calendar, and we’ll have more information as we get closer to the event. Thank you!
The plan will be to hand-pull milfoil in the dock and beach area, and to also clean up the debris on the lake bottom in this location to make a nice swimming area:
Wells, Vermont!
