WHAT: Celebrate ZAP50 with a cleanup at Lincoln Woods! This is 50th anniversary of the Zap The Blackstone cleanup event in 1972, when 10,000 volunteers lined the banks of the Blackstone River to remove tons of trash. It became the largest one-day regional environmental clean-up in American history! This cleanup is a part of the ZAP50 effort to match the 10,000 volunteers that came out in 1972.
WHERE: Meet at the dam area on Stump Hill Rd. in Lincoln Woods State Park. See google map of the site and get directions. You can also view a video where we use Google street view to show you how to get to the dam.

- Always dress for the weather in sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
