MLK National Day of Service - Litter Cleanup (North Smithfield)

The North Smithfield Heritage Association and Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor will team up on Monday, Jan. 16 to clean up trash at the Mammoth Mill Park on Mill Street and along the Blackstone Canal on Canal Street. 

The cleanup will be held in conjunction with the National Day of Service held annually in memory of Martin Luther King. NSHA President Richard Keene noted that while many areas of town were cleaned during the ZAP 50 event in August, there was too much poison ivy to access the park and canal, but the leaves are dead now.  

Keene noted that if there’s enough time and help, the group will also clear the walking paths through the park.

Volunteers who would like to help are asked to meet in the parking lot of the Polish American Club at 21 Ironstone St. in Millville, Mass. at 9 a.m.
