Reporting back from this past Saturday’s successful Earth Month Cleanup along the Hoosic River at Noel Field. Huge thanks to North County Litter Pickers for co-hosting, to the city councilors who joined in, and to everyone who helped clear a massive amount of litter!

Interested in helping out at future community cleanups? There’s still plenty of work to do across North Adams—join North County Litter Pickers at an upcoming event (with the next happening during this week’s First Friday event!).

Thank you to Berkshire Eagle for this article about evolving plans for our next project which were presented at our last Riverwalk: Part 5 on Sunday.

At the end of Hoosic River Revival's final and fifth river walk Nov. 30, the organization announced the next phase of its riverwalk project: a design for giant blue flags

In spite of a wintry mix of snow and rain on Sunday, we had a great turnout for our RiverWalk: Part 5. During the walk, architects Tessa Kelly and Chris Parkinson from ARCADE, along with HRR board members, carried and displayed sample flags for an evolving project to create a flag-lined path along the Hoosic River as it winds through the city of North Adams. Following the walk, we met at Hotel Downstreet, where Mayor Jennifer Macksey enthusiastically endorsed the project and vowed the city's partnership. You will hear more about this in the press and as the story unfolds. For now, here are a few photos from the event, where hot cider and veggie stew were provided by Door Prize. Anyone who has more photos to share please send them in a message to us-- we would love to see things from many perspectives. Thank you to all who joined us!

Some of our group are planning to walk whether or not it rains or snows! If you want to join these brave ones, come to the courtyard at Berkshires' Academy for Advanced Musical Studies, Inc. at 2PM to join the walk portion of this event. Anyone who would rather skip the walk, please come directly to Hotel Downstreet at 3PM for warm refreshments from Door Prize and a presentation of our next project.

If it rains heavily tomorrow, in the interest of everyone's safety, we will cancel the walk portion of our event, but the presentation and refreshments will take place as planned. In the event of rain, please meet directly at Hotel Downstreet at 3PM for some warm refreshments from Door Prize and a presentation of plans for our next project.
