Earth Day
We are so appreciative of the overwhelming response of volunteers for our Longmeadow Earth Day call to action. While we are no longer accepting volunteers for sign-up for the event, we encourage Longmeadow citizens to share in the spirit of the Earth Day by walking in your neighborhood and picking up litter there. Thank you!
