ACES supports increased public participation and engagement in local cleanup initiatives by promoting various volunteer opportunities within our communities. One such effort by some members of Storm Surge and other ACES allies involves collecting trash along the shore just upriver from Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA. and carrying it out of the woods to a designated pickup spot. MA Dept. of Conservation and Recreation staff then pick up the trash for disposal.
