Pond Clean Ups
Since 2000, the Manchester Urban Ponds Restoration Program has been coordinating spring and autumn clean-ups at seven ponds within the city. From 2000-2007 the UPRP organized 59 clean-up events. To date, over 250 volunteers have spent 994 hours collecting 840 bags of trash! This does not include the items illegally “dumped” such as shopping carts, tires, car batteries, other car parts, construction debris, and other items. In addition, the value of volunteer time spent at these clean-ups has amounted to over $22,000.00 over the years!

Thank you to all volunteers who helped out over the years. We could not have done it without you!
