Many Drawn to the River

This past Saturday OARS (For the Assabet, Sudbury, and Concord Rivers) held their 31st annual River Cleanup.  The event mobilized volunteers from 12 communities through which the above rivers flow.

Gathering up trash along the Assabet River in the section flowing through my town I found it comforting to think of the many other folks doing the same, both upstream and downstream, over the course of many river miles. A real sense of riparian connection.
