Where: By the locomotive on Dutton St. at corner of Market and Dutton.
From there, we'll spread out and clean all along the trolley tracks/canal way

When: Saturday, 9 am - 12

Note: This is our last cleanup before the Folk Festival, so we've got to make
a marked difference so that visitors will 'love Lowell'

We've got a table set up for the Folk Festival, Friday thru Sunday, and we could use a few Volunteers to man it. Please let us know the hours and days you might be free to do this. Email: bmoreau@comast.net

Our purpose

Lowell Canalwaters Cleaners exists to aid in the protection, preservation, and restoration of our regions' natural and historic waterways - especially the Lowell Canals, to expand awareness of environmental issues and civic responsibility encompassing our waterways, and to create a desire and opportunity for citizens to take an active role in helping to make a cleaner environment for us all.

Letter From the Executive Director

April 29, 2009

We are starting our Fifth year at the Canals. Hard to believe, but here we still are!
