WAUREGAN — Thirty volunteers organized by The Last Green Valley Inc. pulled an incredible number of tires — 239 — from the Quinebaug River on Friday, Aug. 5. The tires were removed from a short stretch of river just north of the Route 205 bridge on the Brooklyn/Plainfield Line in Wauregan. Volunteers from all over Connecticut and Massachusetts par- ticipated in the cleanup. Connecticut Light and Power provided an energetic crew, as did the Eastern Connecticut Conservation Commission. Frito-Lay and Danielson Adventure Sports staff also got wet and muddy hauling tires from the river. Cozy Corner Restaurant supported the cleanup through use of its facilities, and a private property owner allowed access to the river.
