Thank you to everyone who came out and cleaned up the Mystic River this season! Over 4,500 baskets of water chestnut were removed from the river—amounting to over 46 tons of plant material. You also cut more than 1,000 lawn bags worth of oriental bittersweet vine and removed upwards of 100 bags of litter from parks and paths. This all helps to restore water quality, healthy habitats and connect people to the Mystic—increasingly important goals as we face climate change.
