Adopt-A-Highway Cleanup
Date: Saturday, May 31st
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Location: Start at the Historic Brownhelm School - 1950 N. Ridge Road, Vermilion
What: The BHA adopted portions of North Ridge Road through the Adopt-A-Highway program when the late Ed Brill began the program years ago. At least once a year (and preferably more often!) we try to get out and clean up the litter from the roadside. We’ve decided to hold our first pickup of the year no May 31st. Since we’ll have better luck on a Saturday morning, we will be meeting at 9 a.m. at the Brownhelm School. We have reflective vests, trash pickers, and trash bags, but what we don’t have are a lot of volunteers! This is a perfect opportunity for students to get in a couple hours of service time. Please consider coming out to help keep Brownhelm beautiful on May 31st!
