Show Appreciation for Ledyard Animal Control at Spring Clean-Up

Ledyard CHAIN Inc. is participating in a spring clean-up in recognition of Ledyard Animal Control Appreciation Day.

"This year we are doing something a little different for the Ledyard Animal Control Appreciation Day," Ledyard CHAIN said via Facebook. "The shelter is in need of yard work and sprucing up for spring. We could not think of a better way to show our appreciation for our ACO's than to get together and have a spring clean up day at the shelter."

Children and pets may attend. Pets must be on leashes and up-to-date on vaccines. The clean-up will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 10, at 1 J. Alfred Clark Way.

Clean-up activities include:

• Planting flowers
• Picking up downed limbs
• Spreading mulch
• Raking gravel
• Beautification

"We are asking each person to bring something that can either be used to work with, such as shovels, rakes, a garden hose, garden gloves, etc., or that can be donated towards the beautification of the grounds such as bedding plants, flower bulbs, mulch, garden flags or some type of yard art," Ledyard CHAIN wrote.

Pet-themed items are appreciated.

Unable to do yard work or not free that day but you still want to give?

Items may be contributed prior to the clean-up day. Cash donations are also appreciated and will be used to purchase supplies for the cat room.

Anyone with questions may call Ledyard C.H.A.I.N. at 860-287-3504.

Extra parking is available in the Public Works lot next door to the shelter. Organizers remind attendees to leave the Public Works roadway clear for people visiting the transfer station.
