The CES Green Team invites all Chester families to participate in a town wide spring cleaning! We are partnering with The Rozalia Project (http://rozaliaproject.org/) and Chester Cares (https://www.facebook.com/ChesterCares2016) to add some science to the effort. The Rozalia Project has shared a tally sheet that kids can use to document what they find, and Chester Cares will be collecting all data sheets by June 5th and sharing results with us and an EPA representative, who will use our findings to plan awareness campaigns. Sheets can be picked up at the town hall, or via email: adeeg-carlin@fairfield.edu. Completed tally sheets can be brought back to Town Hall, emailed to adeeg-carlin@fairfield.edu, or brought downtown on June 5th, 12-2, outside of Maple and Main Gallery.
