Join your friends and neighbors on May 7th for a community clean-up effort on Green Up Day!

South Hero Land Trust is organizing this annual event to clean up beaches, streets and trails that make South Hero special. There will be volunteer options for the whole family, and all volunteers are invited to the free volunteer appreciation barbeque afterwards! An hour or two of your time will make a huge difference in cleaning up our community in time for spring.

Please use the google signup form below to indicate your preferred volunteer activity, and we will get back to you with a confirmation and all the information you’ll need to have a successful green up day

We ask that volunteers complete their route by noon on Saturday, when the pickup crew will begin driving around taking filled bags from the side of the road to town-rented dumpster.

Arbor Day Tree Planting

Join us on Vermont’s Arbor Day (May 6th) for a community tree planting! We will be planting a diversity of native trees and shrubs by the stream in the area between South Hero Fire and Rescue and the new Two Heroes Brewery. This tree planting will create better habitat for wildlife, birds, and pollinators, as well as improve the water quality of the stream feeding into Keeler Bay. Sign up to volunteer HERE>>

Town Beach Clean Up

This fun and rewarding activity is a great way to introduce young children to Green-Up Day. The whole family can help to remove trash and debris from the beach, preparing the popular swimming spot for summer fun! Please wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves if you have them. We will provide gloves and bags. 10:30-11:30 AM.

Thank You BBQ

The barbeque is back after a two-year hiatus! Join us from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Folsom Education & Community Center Playground for the annual Green-Up Day Thank You BBQ. Celebrate a cleaner, greener South Hero with free burgers, veggie burgers, and hotdogs. The event is held to thank dedicated volunteers for their hard work keeping South Hero beautiful and caring for the community landscape.  Many thanks to the Naud/Pendolino family and Canamak Farms for making this event possible.
