The Parker River Clean Water Association (PRCWA) is looking for volunteers to help with the cleanup and ongoing maintenance of the Little River Nature Trail, which runs between Hale Street and Storey Avenue, Newburyport.

Recent mammal sightings along the trail have included river otter, beaver, red fox, and signs of mink. Birds seen in the summer included indigo bunting, waxwing, scarlet tanager, towhee, brown thrasher, blue-winged warbler and many other species.

At least 17 different species of butterflies were identified last spring and summer.

The Parker River Clean Water Association (PRCWA) is sponsoring the work party. If you would like to help out, please meet in Newburyport at the sign for the Little River Nature Trail on Storey Avenue across from the bus terminal and walk a 100 yards south to the beginning of the trail.
For safety, park in the bus plaza and use the crosswalk to the Trail sign. Coffee, donuts and water will be available. Individuals and families with older children are welcome.

Please bring gloves, clippers, loppers, and weed whackers if you have them
