It was a beautiful day for a cleanup at Roger Williams Park this morning! Huge thank you to everyone who showed up for a fun "spring cleaning" – I think the fresh air was as good for us as the trash pick-up was for the park! 🌎🌞

And thank you to @savethebayri for partnering with us to lead the cleanup, and @pvdparks for providing trash pickers and supplies!
