I saw in the Herald that someone was picking up bags left along the road. I did my piece of road today and left the bags. If this is not the case I’ll go get them. I’ll have to bring them to the transfer station Wednesday.

Green Up Day - Saturday, May 6th

With the last snowbanks just about to fade away, it is time to answer the age old question, “What beverage does my neighbor drink, and where does he throw his cans?” The trends are always shifting, and we just don’t know for sure until we get out there!

Green Up Bags are available on the library porch, and at both of our town stores. We’ll also be handing out bags at the Tunbridge transfer station Saturday, April 29th and Wednesday, May 3. Your official green bags full of roadside trash are welcome free-of-charge at the transfer station from May 3 - May 13th.

If you bring them in on May 6th, you will be rewarded with Bob-n-Ed Bucks which can be used at the Rec Field Cook Shack all day for treats and meals. This program is sponsored by donations and celebrates the generous and community-oriented lives of Ed Howe and Bob Rogers. Enjoy a burger and a soda and take in some Green Up Day softball action after cleaning up your little section of Tunbridge.

If you’d like to claim a section of road to clean, you can get yourself on the map by emailing Eliza [email protected], or by speaking with one of our Green Up Day volunteers posted at the transfer station.

So glad that you posted this announcement. I spoke to Erik Anderson who tells me that the students are still involved with green up and plan to pitch in on that day!

Please join us Friday, March 31, at Tunbridge Public Library for the last event in the Winter Evenings Series, “Living with Black Bears: Understanding Black Bear Biology & Ecology.”Jaclyn Comeau, black bear biologist for the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, will speak at 7 p.m. Her experience includes capturing and fitting bears with GPS collars, visiting dens to mark and collect biological data, using telemetry and remote camera data to assess black bear activity and habitat, and monitoring through track surveys, camera traps, and necropsies.
