The Friends of Whitehall will have their 14 th annual fall clean-up on Sat. Oct. 13th from 9 a.m.
until noon. Please join us at the boat landing at Whitehall State Park on Wood St (Rte.135) in
Hopkinton for a little fresh air, fun and work! Our goal will once again be to pick up trash and
debris from the trails and shoreline around Lake Whitehall. The lake and trails were heavily
used this past summer so we will have quite a bit to do. Kayakers, canoeists and other boats are
more than welcome to help as there is quite a bit of trash in the lake itself. We will also clean
up some roadsides near the lake. After signing in, volunteers will be assigned a particular
section of the trail or road to work on. Bug spray, gloves, trash bags, tools and water will be
provided. Coffee, hot chocolate and doughnuts will be available before we begin. We hope that
we will have many volunteers to help us with this effort. Friends of Whitehall is very proud to
be able to assist the Department of Conservation and Recreation in the maintenance of the
Park and Lake Whitehall.
The Friends of Whitehall was started in 2005 and our main mission is to preserve, protect and
improve the wonderful natural resource of Lake Whitehall and its surrounding area. Please visit
our website www.friendsofwhitehall.org or join us on Facebook to learn more about us. We
are a non-profit 501c (3) organization. We always welcome new members and hope you will
consider joining us. Membership forms may be downloaded from our website.
