Westborough Litter Cleanup a Success Despite Snow!

Have you noticed that Westborough is suddenly looking cleaner and more beautiful? It's not just the spring sunshine!

The annual Earth Day Litter Cleanup sponsored by the Westborough Community Land Trust was another success this year! Despite a rainy start and a snowy end to the week-long event, over 600 people volunteered to help clean up our town. This includes 31 large groups and 25 households who helped clean up the town we love!
