KBVB's New Walking Group

Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful is starting a series of walking groups to clean up our environment in collaboration with “Keep Rhody Litter Free!” launched by Governor Daniel McKee and spokesperson First Lady Susan McKee.

KBVB will hold a walk in each of our ten RI Blackstone Valley communities on Thursdays at 1 pm starting February 23rd in North Smithfield and continuing until April 27th.   

Walks will last approximately an hour. Each route will be around 2 miles to get a little exercise as we carry our grabbers and pick up any litter we see.

“I know many residents are home during the day and enjoy being outside. So, let’s meet up and cleanup or towns, while we chat and have fun,” explains Kaehler.   “I am itching to get this litter off our streets and hope others feel the same way.”

Weather delays will push the walk to Friday of the same week. 

Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful will bring all the supplies needed, so you just need to come. These walks are on traveled roads and are geared mostly for adults, but children are welcome with supervision. 

Residents can join any community they would like, so no need to stay only in your city or town.
