Pratt & Whitney volunteers participate in Annual Source to Sea Cleanup

Recently, Pratt & Whitney volunteers joined a group from Goodwin College's Environmental Studies group and members of CME Associates to participate in the cleanup along the Hockanum River.

The event was part of the Annual Source to Sea Cleanup, run by the Connecticut River Watershed Council (CRWC).  Now in its 17th year, the effort has resulted in cleaner water, river banks, parks, boat launches and trails covering 91 miles along the four-state watershed of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.

The Pratt & Whitney-led volunteer group, including Mitch Sadoski in photo, took to the paths, woods, banks and water on foot. In only the first half hour, a large pile of debris had begun to accumulate at the wheelbarrow dump site and was eventually hauled away.
