Responsibility at heart of mill pond cleanup
North Mill Pond cleanup attracted 25 volunteers for the eighth annual event. Residents noted improved conditions from prior years as they collected beer cans trash and industrial waste near North Cemetery. The effort, funded in part by the NH Coastal Program with local sponsors, aims to keep the salt pond trash free and volunteers plan to return next year.
