David LeFeber, Chair of the Livingston County Board of Supervisors, stated: “Every spring, it’s incredibly inspiring to see residents joining in the cleanup and preservation of our shared spaces throughout the County. By caring for these public lands today, we preserve the natural beauty of our region for future generations to enjoy. I encourage all residents to join a cleanup event today.”
Alexander W. Pierce, Chairman of the Livingston County Environmental Management Council, commented: “Community cleanup calls us to look more closely and critically at all the environmental resources contributing to the rural character and beauty of our County and provides vital benefits to each community resident and visitor.”
Livingston County Administrator Shannon Hillier added: “As the saying goes, ‘many hands make light work.’ I urge our community to come out in force this April and leave our parks, waterways, and other community spaces in better shape than we found them.”
