Adopt-A-Road
Program
Deep
Woods Extreme, Inc. is entering the 3rd year with the NH
Adopt-A-Road program. We adopted a 2.2 mile stretch of Rt. 111
in Hampstead, NH. The program requires us to perform 4-6
clean-ups a year from April-October. We have collected an
average of approximately 100-200 bags a year of trash and other
miscellaneous waste. You'd be surprised at what some people
throw out their window! While it is not the most glamourous job in
the world, it definitely puts a smile on your face when you look back
at all the bags and see the work you have just accomplished. It
also makes you think twice about littering...even down to something
as small as a cigarette butt.
In
October, Deep Woods Extreme, Inc. completed their last clean-up of
the year. Throughout the year we probably collected around 100
bags of trash and miscellaneous debris. This number may seem
pretty high but the first year we started the Adopt-A-Road program we
probably collected over 200 bags! Either citizens are littering less
or we are just getting better with the program.
The
BOD would like to thank all of our members for helping out this year
with the clean-ups! The number of volunteers was much better this
year and the clean-ups ended alot faster! Also, thank you to the
residents of Hampstead, NH who see us out their and show their appreciation!
Please
try to make a conscious effert to not litter and that goes for
throwing cigarette butts out your window too. :)
