On Saturday June 27, 2020, Rick Mandile (SAGE), Carleen Colburn (Rubius Therapeutics), and a team of volunteers met at the Pratt Dam on the Blackstone River to clean the tubes. This annual clean-up has been organized by the Blackstone River Watershed Council and other volunteer groups for the past 20 years.
For those interested in the ongoing Blackstone River clean-up and fish passage plans, below are some of the organizations involved and links.
