First trip to the brook

This was our first time going to the brook, we walked up and had a look around. We decided to divide our group in two and each work on a different section of the brook.
One team will work from Parade street to Stars road and the other will work from Parade street towards Kelly's Cove. We will work together to clean up area around Walmart. We learned how to use the probe kit, and headed home! ☺

Kelly's Cove Cleanup

On Saturday, September 20, some of the Environmental Association went to Kelly's Cove to help with a beach clean up. Kelly's Cove is where Broad Brook empties into the Gulf of Maine.

We picked up many different things, but most of the items were connected with the fishing industry, such as lobster bands, plastic bands for boxes; and we even found a few lobster traps.
