WOLCOTT, Vt. (WCAX) – On a recent foggy Saturday morning, 11 canoers met at the Upper Lamoille River Access in Wolcott, not for a leisurely paddle but, rather, a trash-picking adventure.
The crew, organized by the Northern Forest Canoe Trail and Lamoille River Paddlers’ Trail, launched boats into the Lamoille River and, while paddling downstream, stopped to collect all manner of garbage, including tires, plastic and propane tanks. Some of the debris was from the summer floods.
Seven Days’ Eva Sollberger hitched a ride with the group and recorded the afternoon’s muddy finds.
